Sunset occurred in Barrow, Alaska, America’s northernmost city, at 1:49 p.m. today.
Residents will remain in the dark for 82 days or until sunrise at 1:12 p.m., Jan. 24.
During my younger years, I had the urge to return “home.” For me, it was Pittsburgh.
After a couple of years at WAFB, I left in ’79, assuming the chief forecasting duties at WPXI, the NBC affiliate.
I enjoyed the “City of Champions” as the Steelers and the Pirates won national titles.
However, I once counted 64 consecutive days without sunshine.
Even though we’ll return to some clouds and rain through Saturday morning, Baton Rouge is one of the best-kept-secrets in the U.S., especially with our recent sunny days.
Fastcast: Returning clouds.
