Alaska is balmy in comparison. It’s not even going to get below freezing in Juneau at least for the next 5 days.
32 right now in Wasilla. Pretty pleasant for January. Coldest at my house this year so far was -20 a few weeks ago. Luckily with no wind.
It’s often warmer up there than down here in Wisconsin.
Back in the 70s, I had an apprentice one year from Chitna, Alaska. Not only was she complaining about the cold, she could not get a fire started in her woodstove with our hardwood. She was used to burning pine.
