WHITEHORSE, YUKON Summer 2012

I have a friend who lives up north. They really have not had any summer. I just went onto the weather.com and see that right thru until July 24th they will not be going to reach even 20 degrees. IN FACT, it shows that on the 20th in the night they will go below 1 degree. Here is what the Almanac said:
