If you hate the cold like I hate the cold, there is no amount of money worth the misery.

I grew up in Alaska and Central Utah, and I love the snow but hate the cold. My hands and feet were mildly frost-bitten every winter. *shudder*

There is NOTHING that would entice me to live in an area where the snow and cold ruled for six months (or more) of the year.

Coastal Alaska is warmer than what we get in MN on an annual basis. Parts of Alaska's interior and Northern sections make what we've got going on here balmy by comparison.

Take a special kind of masochist to want to live in those conditions.
