Alaska Deep Freeze Tests Citizens As Cold Hits 10th State
Central Alaska endures a severe cold front with temperatures deep in the minus range and record lows. Fairbanks reports minus 56 to minus 65 and iced conditions blanketing streets as 42 inches of snow remains. Propane gas and car batteries falter, tires flatten, pipes freeze, and a cat is freed after paws freeze to ground ice.
