Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Donna, It is really temperate in LA. Interesting, never knew it was like that there. I love hearing about the different parts of the country and how and why folks love it where they live.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 What drew me to Alaska was my parent. I was born in Fairbanks back prior to statehood. Why I stay is because there is no place else on the face of this earth that I would rather be, most of the time. When it is really cold outside, I sometimes wonder about my sanity, but in general I like it here. It is about 15* right now. That is a big improvement over yesterday when it was below zero and the wind was howling like a banshee. I don't mind temps down to about 30* and am completely comfortable with heat up to about 85*. I never have to worry about temperatures here going over 85, in fact over 75 is rare. As long as I can keep the house warm, I tend to just stay at home when it is cold. I don't work outside my home, so unless it is an emergency or a promise, I just put off errands till it warms up. It usually doesn't stay below zero for more than about 5 days at a time, Alaskan weather is changing a lot due to global warming. It never reached even 80* until the last couple years. Our winters have been warmer and less snow that they used to be 20 years ago. I kind of like global warming. LOL The long hours of darkness can get to me, though. Durring the winter we may only have a couple hours of daylight and since I don't drive in the dark, I am pretty much housebound. 22 or more hours of sunshine do make the summers nice.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 You know what's funny...I lived in LA fir 5 years and the 1st 3 I was always freezing at night. I grew up in Florida (I'm back now) and it doesn't really cool down at night. It was 89 degrees yesterday and will only get up to 66 today. We are all FREEZING this morning. I know this sounds really wimpy to those of you who live in the great white north!! Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
