[fuzzybabybunny]

Looking forward to frozenbabybunny.

I know a guy who lived there; he's banned from here

 

[RossMAN]

ShotgunSteve does.

Sarah Palin lives there when she's not on the grift.

I hear you can see Russia from there!

 

[grrl]

I hear you can see Russia from there!

From her kitchen window apparently.

 

[Nintendesert]

Alaska is awesome. I loved my time there. Good luck living in your dinky car during the winters.

Just so we're clear:
Palin never actually said that.

I once debated moving to the North West Territories. Glad I didn't get that job. A friend of a co-worker is doing some stint teaching in some remote island community in Nunavut. Doesn't look like a place where you'd want to spend serious time in. Southern part of Alaska is beautiful though.

I've been to Alaska. AMA

Just so we're clear:
Palin never actually said that.

and Al Gore never said he invented the internet. No one cares.

I always wanted to go to Alaska and live there.

Love the snow I know it doesn't always snow there.

First off I'm not an ipod salesman, second I've never been banned.

That said I've lurked here forever and decided to join. I was born and raised in AK, little stint in the lower 48 for 6 years and came back home. I travel around the state 6-8 months out of the year for work so what would you like to know? I live in Anc and it wasn't what it used to be, I know a lot about the state and places. Ask a question I'll give an answer.

 

[pcslookout]

Is it always cold in Alaska ?

Is it always cold in Alaska ?

No, in the interior it can get to 80-100 degrees. Lots of fire from lightning strikes. Even on the north slope in the summer its not bad, except for the bugs.

Living in Anchorage, AK for the last 7 years. Moved up here from SoCal. Love it so much I finally decided to buy a house/condo. Hopefully, I close next month, so I guess up here for the long haul.

Winters are definitely cold, but I'm used to it now. I discovered it's a lot easier to stay warm than it is to keep cool. Coldest I've seen it here in Anchorage is -19 Fahrenheit. The long nights can take some getting used to in the winter.

Summers are short though, but having the daylight hours lasting maybe 22 hours or so, gives you plenty of time to do all kinds of stuff during the day. Hottest I've ever seen it in Anchorage is probably low 80's. Most times, it's in the upper 60 - mid 70's.

Living up here isn't much different than living in the lower 48. Got malls, restaurants, bars, movies, etc. Maybe not as much variety, but you always have amazon.

Whosyourdaddy used to. He lives in Hawaii now last I checked.

Always been interested in moving to Alaska but looking at Google street view, Anchorage seems to be one of those ugly American strip mall cities where pedestrians are banned and everyone lives inside their cars. Maybe I'm wrong

 

[Trey22]

I do. I mean, I live in Michigan. It just snowed yesterday, so yeah, it's like living in freakin' Alaska.

My favorite band is from anchorage. 36crazyfists

I've heard the male to female ration is really off - like 65% men and half the women are Inuits - so it makes dating really hard.

I don't see that bothering FBB and he has his bunbun and his other imaginary GF's -

Always good to judge a city based on google street view. Clown.
