Hi David,

So as of this morning it has been 26 pounds per square inch in Fairbanks/Creamer's Field, and just over 26.5 pounds per square inch in North Pole (Chena Lakes) according to the moisture equivalent measurements at both of those locations...(How much more will we get this week? Who knows!)
