On January 1st, there are zero hours of sunlight as the Sun never rises. The temperature in Barrow typically ranges from -10°F to -9°F because without the Sun, there's little temperature variation. Wind is nearly constant at 14 MPH.
The good news? It only snows on January 1st about 4% of the time and there will be a near full moon to help illuminate things. The water temperature will be around 29°F, which will make that peninsula a bit warmer than the rest of Barrow. The town was recently renamed some weird native string of random characters but I refuse to learn it.
