JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Think it's cold where you are? Alaskans are dealing with a nearly two-week-long cold snap that's even making the state's hardened residents shiver.
In some spots, the mercury is down to 60 below zero.
National Weather Service meteorologist Andy Brown says a "ridge" of sorts has developed over much of central Alaska east toward Canada.
That keeps other weather patterns from moving through. New conditions get pushed north or south while the affected area faces daily extremes.
The cold has grounded planes, disabled cars, frozen water pipes and even canceled several championship cross country ski races.
One man is burning the lumber he had planned to build a second home with to keep warm.
