I love that people in Alaska are so in touch with the outdoors. We've almost totally lost that in the lower 48. Most people nowadays are so consumed with their cell phones, soccer practice, play dates, etc, etc that they don't even think about something like the Winter Solstice (Or sadly, have a clue what it means).

You are my twin. Lol. I wish I lived here.

Thank you for this. I was trying to explain this phenomenon to my kid, but seeing as we live in the southern US and in a coastal plain, where there’s not even hills, let alone mountains, it was really hard to describe. Here, almost as soon as there’s light in the sky, you can see the sun. So explaining to him that the sky is fairly light but people don’t see the actual sun for several weeks was kind of tricky. Also, “...leading to the best winter month, which is March.” That startled me a bit. I always forget that March is technically a winter month. Where I live, we start getting spring weather and flowers blooming by early ot mid February (some winters are so mild that they never stop blooming at all, in fact), so in my mind March is solidly a spring month. I often forget that seasons where I live are a bit skewed.

@HowtoAlaska

We are glad the video was helpful. We have marginal seasons here too... we can expect summer like weather May-August and winter weather from October-March. Our transition seasons only last about a month. We don’t have a long spring or fall. Also, we have longer periods of twilight than lower latitudes. In the summer the night is perpetually twilight and in the winter our twilight lasts for about an hour before and after sunrise and sunset.

Nice... at least you see the sky. It's been cloudy, rainy and dark for almost 3 weeks in Vienna. I didn't see even beautiful mixture of cloud and blue sky for weeks.

Happy shortest day of the year , wait where did it go ? I absolutely love your channel and I'm so happy that I subscribed a while back , Merry Christmas and I hope you have a prosperous new year . Best regards once again from Lloyd way over here in Ontario Canada.

I grew up in Murmansk (69'00) so I know how hard it is not to see the sun, and when it does come out it's so low in the sky. Now living in Oslo (59'59) so very short days and very low sun around solstice, but it really does help to have at least something.

Id love to visit and stay there for 2 months of darkness just to experience that! I usually dont like the cold; I'm much more of a summer fan, but to live through this once would be kinda special. Wonder how expensive a room would be for 8 weeks??

I wish I could move to alaska😔

I have mixed bets. One would be the bulbs of the street lights last longer but at the same time I bet they probably don’t. How I have those bets is because in the summertime they are not on much or not on at all as to where in the winter time they are on way more because of long nights lol

I would like to spent some time at your place at winter solicit.. Lovely family

Don't think so no way I'll definitely go crazy I'm a California boy hats off to you Alaskans.

Correct me if I'm wrong only two months of darkness in Alaska right? and after two months is done the rest of the month no darkness/no nighttime is that around summer? I'm kinda thinking that could be on the North side of Alaska, when the sunset comes you guys use it like it's nighttime right?? It's just a question I'm wondering how you guys handle it. One day I will visit Alaska have the experience and better view to see everything over there.

November December and January are pretty short for days. It’s not too bad handling it, you just have to stay active. May June and July you never really see full darkness just twilight. The fall and spring are similar to the rest of the world’s daylight.

It also depends on where in Alaska you are, would depend on the amount of daylight. Anchorage vs Utqiagvik (formally Barrow). for example. I guess it's wouldn't be bad is you don't have to live alone.

Winter Is Coming!

I'll still probably have the fan on 😆

We are moving from CA to AK. There was a lot of reasons. Income for me was much higher. Colorado pays teachers about 40k and Alaska pays 70k (on average). There is also less regulation and control by the government... a very different culture. The extreme climate can also be very mentally healthy for some. Reminds you of nature and to be more at peace. You focus more on the moment when weather can kill you. Less people.. more space... etc. We also like to be able to harvest our own meat organically salmon / moose etc. So.. just depends on your lifestyle and what you want. There is also no state income tax and in anchorage/fairbanks no sales tax. Some people really like the freedom and independence. :) I hope that helps
