Where do you come from?

[Winter]

hahah! I've had so many people ask me weird things about Alaska. like, "Does the sun EVER come up??" It's like dude in the summer, the sun NEVER goes down. They don't realize that it's not necessarily cold, but just extreme, It'll be -40 at night and 70 during the day.

Silly people. And we have blazing hot summers too :p

Sounds familiar... It's the exact same here. Northern Norway tends to be marketed as "Land of the Midnight Sun". But that's only because "Land of Eternal Darkness" doesn't go too well with tourists. Yes, I know we get exactly as much daytime as nighttime, like every other place in the world, but the weather tends to obstruct the daytime, and make the nighttime even darker.

And cold up here is proper cold. -40*C is apparently something that happens some days every winter. -50 is more rare, but it occurs from time to time. Add the wind to that.

Yeah the wind chill was a bitch, although where i was living, the weather was pretty stable for the most part, 5 days out of the week was clear skies and the other 2 were usually snowy or windy. That was during the Spring though

[SuperFireKirby]

Oh yeah, my winters get down to.... 10*C....

But mah summers get to 35 plus 95% humidity.

Are you really far inland or something?

"Midnight Sun" sounds like that awful Twilight saga book...I don't want to live there
My astronomy professor talked all about daylight in north. Days when the sun doesn't set...wooo...and the crazy cold that my dad mentioned when he was sailing in Norway. I think -10C is cold.

^^I'd take that any day over this...
*glances at snowdrifts outside window*

[Ruto]

Snow is better than nothing, actually. I really hate days when it's just cold and windy.

You could try moving to another country, maybe? Not the US, unless you want to spend the rest of your life paying off the government's spending in the past 2 years. X) It should be somewhere where you don't have to pay so much for heating, or air conditioning, near the ocean...

Florida. Nuff said.

[Jub3r7]

Wow, I live one state above you, SFK.
This summer, it got like 95*F, more or less, didn't it? Maybe to the 110's?

It's about 50% of the people where I live love the snow, 50% hate it.
They either rejoice in it because it only comes once or twice a year, or shudder at it because they're not used to it.
I personally enjoy it. Although it doesn't get down to the 10's very often, so that might explain something.

[Ruto]

Eh, I could never live in a place where you don't need a coat.

Weren't there snowstorms in the South last year? How was that?

You live close to Slow, that is if you live in the land began by James Oglethorpe in the name of King George

Hey, I live one state above Florida as well! Are you a Georgia dweller, Jub?

[Jub3r7]

Indeed, I am. What a coincidence!

...That would be weird if we knew each other...
