ALASKA...anyone live there???
 

Im thinking of moving to Alaska, I was wondering if anyone lives there...

Thanks,

Josh

Check out the "Alaska Reefers" in the clubs forums (West region).

AFAIK, it's just moose up there, no people :p

And bear proof trashcans!

Moved to the Lounge as off-topic for New to the Hobby.

My roommate lives in Alaska, so that makes at least one...

If your roommate lives in Alaska, wouldn't that mean you do too?

Why do you want to live in Alaska? It's freaking cold there!

This coming from someone where according to weather.com it's only 7F out right now?

Anchorage is up to 19F already with an expected high of 21...

ok, you're right, it is cold there and I wold cry like a baby if I had to move there

It's 55 on my patio right now and will get up to 68 this afternoon. :D

No, Alsaka is a cold barren waste land with only polar bears & eskimos :lol:

[COLOR=deeppink]Sounds like the perfect reason to move there, IMO.[/COLOR] :)

I have lived in Kodiak for 3 years and Homer for 1 year. I loved my time up there and look forward to going back there. If you have specific questions let me know. I have spent a little time in Valdez, Juneau, Ketchikan, and Anchorage. Each region is different up there, so a location as to where you are thinking of moving would help with the information given. As a basic piece of advice: If you love the outdoors (hunting, fishing, hiking, etc.) you will love AK, otherwise you will probably not have much fun up there.

What is this 7F you speak of?

Get it right, it's -25 with the wind chill. That's cold enough to freeze the snot in your nose when you breathe in.

-25?!?!?

How are you not dead?

If it's -25 I say bring on the global warming, lets get you folks up north some heat. :D

I wonder if that is -25C??? With windchill, it isn't too hard to get really low. I found that out working on a ship up in AK. We got windchill temperatures in the negatives a lot.

They pay people to live there, so what does that say about the place?

it was -18 here a few weeks ago and Im not even in Alaska

Juneau, Alaska. Normally does not get below 30 degrees.

Im hoping to move to Alaska for a Job with the State Troopers. I hope it all works out. Alaska is BEAUTIFUL, the people are great, and it is not a waist land. Russia sold it to us, thinking it would be waist land...to there surprise it is everything but that. I really hope this works, I WANT IT SO BAD!

Thanks,

Josh

Yes, that -25C.

And it was -25.7 when I woke up this morning, with the wind chill it was almost -40
