O’Connell Brrrrrrrrrrridge.

The sun sinks behind the O'Connell Bridge Monday afternoon (1-16-12) on one of the coldest days of the winter so far. Temperatures dipped into the low teens in Sitka, and into single digits in communities farther inland. Cold conditions are forecast to last through the end of the week.
