It’s cold but not really cold. The moisture freezes out of the air at that temp and becomes comfortable in a good hoodie. I get colder in Kansas at 15 and windy than -30.

I'll call bull on that. Yes, the wind sucks when it is cold, but -30 is -30.

Yeah, but it’s a “dry” cold. Very similar to the “dry” 120° of Vegas.

Dude get your windshield fixed...

That is an Alaskan windshield. If you fix it every time you get a crack you’ll go through 1-2 a year. Plus, I live 150 mile from the nearest glass shop.

It’s still cold yes, but your clothes insulate better in the dry cold.

Really cold is below minus -50, which we saw for a week straight last winter.

My sarcasm didn’t show in my previous comment. I agree with you. I lived in the western mountains for a time where it was not abnormal to be well below zero. Truck had a hard time starting without a block heater, but because there wasn’t much wind (if any), we could go out for the day in a decent jacket. Sunscreen was a must, though, as snow was on the ground from early October through late May.

I’ll take 120 in Vegas versus 90 in Louisiana. Same theory.

I'll take sunny and 82 in San Diego for $500, Alex.

I'll take MORE THE PROCESS talk and LESS weather in Alaska task, for $100, Alex!:)

I'll take that too. It's been horrible and in the low 60's here lately. ;)

Plus you're bound to hit a moose or a polar bear or a big ass walrus in a couple months anyway, right?

Penguins are the worst

Penguins are the worst

They have the Alaskan Penguin exhibit at the Des Moines Zoo. My wife thought they were cute so I stole one of those little bastards out of the nursery. The thing crapped on the back seat, then regurgitated a bunch of anchovies, so I chucked him out the window doing 70. Thing never hit the ground, just started flying north. I hope he made it back home.

Oh I’m sure. We use them like homing pigeons to communicate village to village. Most of our igloos have penguin doors similar to doggy doors for our tuxedoed friends. They don’t taste half bad either. It’s a delicacy to find one of those males that has been sitting on an egg for 49 years and make balut.
