I'll be going to Kodiak Island on the 21st of Feb. for three weeks of testing. I'll let you know just how bad it really sucks!

That's kind of like saying that Arizona sucks in the summer.

Wait, wait, wait. Maybe Mike thinks it sucks because it's dark, not because of the cold. In that case, it isn't like saying Arizona sucks in the summer.

My ex-wife is from North Pole, AK, a suburb of Fairbanks (in AK terms). I went up there once in the Summer, and it was spectacular! The sun never really set. I was light out all the time. Amazing. Then I spent about 5 subsequent Christmases up there. Mind you, Christmas is a few days after the winter solstice. The sortest days of the year. Quite a difference. No sun. Absolutely no direct sun. You could not see it, it never actually rose above the horizon. Dawn and dusk were about a total of 3 or4 hours, combined. -20 was normal, even balmy. The last day I was ever in AK, it dropped to -70. Turns out that's too cold to de-ice a plane. The pilot and a ticketing agent were on the wings with brooms trying to remove the ice. Not kidding, and it was not a small plane. 727 or 737, I believe. Didn't work. Sat on the tarmac for 6 hours. From midnight to 6am or so. That's right. Flights all originate in AK around midnight so that they can to SEA/TAC in the usual morning lower 48 air-commuter hours. It is a crazy, crazy place.

Alaska winters bring the suck!

My wifey is in Anchorage right now...she says its not too bad at around 20 degrees. I think shes lying and she misearbly cold--remember we live 1 block from the beach in Florida. Ill testify the flights to and fro are terrible.e

I actually want to do an Alaskan cruise one of these days. No rush though, I can do that when I’m in my 70s http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I know a few people that have done those cruises and loved them. One couple, my grandparents were in their 70s too http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Not quite the cold temps here as in Alaska, but we are in blizzard watch for Saturday night on Long Island. They say 6-12" of snow with wind gusts over 50mph. This will be the first snow event for the H2. Can't wait! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Its not a place i care to go to...just happen to have family and a new niece out there. Cold and wet both suck--snow is both.

Cold weather is much like the hot weather we have in the south in the sense that your body becomes acclumated.

I grew up in Grand Prairie, Alberta. I can remember walking to school at 25 and 30 below zero. The schools didn't close until -35 and that wasn't including wind chill factor.

As I eventually moved to the States and further South, I couldn't stand how hot it was. Again, it took a while to become acclumated to the temps.

So I believe your wife when she says she doesn't feel it. Either that or she's completely numb from the cold...lol.

If you're in Anchorage, go try the Paris Cafe. They used to have some of the best Steak and Crab in town. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
