I had wanted to add before that I always laughed when I drove down there in winter and everyone was all bundled up in jackets at 60 degrees and I was running around in t-shirts having the time of my life.

I think it's even too hot at my dad's in the summer (in Prescott) sometimes. Flagstaff was ideal in so many ways...

Yeah, a weather thread that I can post in without guilt or the risk of a mega-bash. Dallas should not be colder or have more snow than Anchorage. My yard has more green grass than snow for pete's sake. Our temps are sitting in the 40's, so it's just wet and dirty. No x-country skiing, no dog sledding, no "people" sledding, no crisp air, etc. You may ask, would I rather be living on the East Coast? Not a chance, but I would like to have a normal winter. There are a few perks tho. Our heating bills are low this year, my shovel is relatively dry and driving is easier without a foot of snow. And my old arthritic dog is fairing much better because of it. It's Alaska, it's February, it's crazy and just not right.

edited to say..the bears woke up from hibernation two weeks ago. that's 2-3 months too early. it's nuts.

Square, I never go anywhere that they don't have Central AC and room service.

I HATE to sweat.

Grooch, come over here and let me smack you. It is going to snow again this weekend here.

Northstar, would my polar bear hubby fair well there? He seems to think it is warm here. I love it that he is out of the house now every night so I can crank up the heat. hehehe

Twinkie, he'd do well on the northern coast but not in Anchorage. Ours are mostly black bears.

Northstar, I have a question for you. Aren't your brown bears actually grizzlies? Why do I think that? Guess that's two questions. You can answer only one, if you want. :)

Fanny, for the sake of argument, yes. I've gotta run, so check your folder later tonight. I'll leave a note on AK bear info.

OK, Northstar. I'll post in my folder to you before you post in my folder to me, lol.

I have totaly sympathy for those suffering with high dew points and humidity. YUCK.

Last summer here in New England felt like a Fla summer. It didn't even cool much at night. You always feel dirty and uncomfortable. Bad hair day takes on a much more serious meaning. It is impossible to feel clean, forget make-up (it melts off and is hot anyway)and you have little energy.

Looks like I spoke too soon. An Arctic front is coming in on Monday and it's going to be cold for a while. Darn it. We want some snow, not the cold. <digging in closet for ear muffs and gloves, and slides over to the damn it's cold thread>

Hehehe.

It's warm enough here already that I've planned for Kota and my neice to have a picnic in the front yard today. We have a beautiful blue sky, no clouds, and not even a hint of a breeze! It's perfect!

How nice for you, I had to defrost my car. It is encased in ice. Took me a half hour to get the door open. LOL

Ginger, if you were here, melting into your chair, you would be longing for some of that frosty air, I'll trade ya! (although that car encased in ice doesn't sound like fun at all) {{Ginger}}

Did the door squeek hideously when you went to open it? I remember that from living up north, it was inhuman to have to go through that early in the morning!

I don't like heat at all.

It's slowly starting to warm up here. Ick.

I can handle cold. But ice just makes me nuts. My car literally was a block of ice that had to be chipped off.
