I lived in Fairbanks for 30 years. The land of extremes. In the eighties, I often saw over 2 weeks that never warmed up above -40 below. Sometimes several days of -50 below. Then, when it warmed up to -30 below, it felt like a heat wave.

Winter or studded tires are not mandatory in Fairbanks. However, when it is this cold the roads are not really slick. Ice is really only slick when you have enough pressure or high temp to form a water layer on it..Its too cold for that. Just like we don't generally use salt on the road....its too cold for that. We use 3/8" crushed gravel, which is most likely why the poster has a chipped and cracked windshield, just like most of us in Fairbanks.

Fairbanks in part of Alaska which is cut off from the US

Back in 1982, I was in the US Army when I was transferred to Ft. Greeley, AK. I drove up there in a soft top Jeep and that's what I used during the first winter. The lowest temperature I drove in was 70 below or some such madness. The heater kept the inside of the Jeep to a balmy 0 degrees, and my wife was always ready with the ice scraper to scrape off the inside of the windshield so I could see (the defroster was a joke). After that winter I sold the Jeep and got a van. No, I don't miss shaking a thermometer at 70 below and hearing the frozen mercury inside rattle around...

For those who don’t know, (I bet this guy knows already) Put some blizzaks tires on, cover that grill, make sure u got the proper oil and antifreeze and you’ll be fine. Make sure you plug it in at night to keep the engine warm and maybe even leave a space heater to run inside. I worked in North Dakota for years as a truck driver and it was -44 the worst I seen.

Ah Fairbanks, I served there in the U S Army from June 1977 through December 1978. Ice fog what a mind blower for a kid from S Fla. Super short days in winter and day round sunlight in summer. I'd love to visit again just to see all of the changes. 🤣

A very pleasant conversation between the two of you. You guys sound like my wife and I. We've been married for 38 years. It's freezing outside but we can get cozy after.

I live in Tok and have a serious disease. We drive up to FBX in every kind of weather. If you are observant, patient, build time into your schedule and pack for EVERY situation, you’ll be just fine. It’s been a while since we’ve had a true cold spell. January was our last really cold stretch. Our school and buses in Tok do not shut down for anything, ever.

I was born and raised in Alaska. I drove for rideshare companies and any out-of-state-r was surprised I drove so aggressively/confidently ( I was 21-22 at that time )

It is amazing how much traction you get at -40 or so. I lived in Fairbanks when I was a kid, in Island Homes, loved every second of it. I am still trying to find childhood friends Smokey Norton and J E Leacock.

For someone from Maryland who hasn't experienced super harsh winters, it's very interesting to see how locals talk about the weather there.

We once went out to the Tanana Valley during the winter and actually experienced -81 below. We had an Air Force weather person with us that had the equipment to measure real air temp.

My only complaint is -52 below zero. One designation or the other. Either -52 or below is all you need. 😉 Great video. Love how they don’t get all OCD with needing to get all the snow off the road.

looks so much like Minnesota :)

I guess if you can live in Alaska that 52 below you could live on Mars

Looks awesome

This kind of cold is absolutely nutty to endure. I didn't have any perspective on how crazy it was until I lived in Washington for college, and got used to what weather's like in the lower 48 (obvs WA doesn't represent the whole of America, but I got enough of a sense I feel). Like, at fifty below, it literally hurts to be outside if you aren't dressed in full-body snow gear (even then, it sorta hurts to breathe). The cold immediately sears any exposed skin. Your eyelashes stick together when you blink, inhaling hard through your close will cause your snot to freeze (and also gives you a brainfreeze), your fingers stick to metal poles, etc. Life without an auto-start on your car is hell. It's pretty terrifying, just because it'd only take the power in your home going out, or your car going into the ditch for you to be somewhat imminently screwed lol. Especially if you're driving on the Parks fuckin' highway. Bring blankets and portable heaters everywhere you go. On the other hand, there are some pretty damn cozy diners in Fairbanks, and great coffee stands, both of which are made especially so by the freezing cold. So it's not all bad!

Betty Weber - Anyone who has lived here for any amount of time knows you don’t drive in 4WD unless you absolutely have to. You drive in 2WD and only use the 4WD to get out of slick/deep situations. Driving on snow and ice in 4WD at speed only means that ALL your tire will break free and REALLY bury you in a snow bank. At which point your 4WD is useless.

Amazing how they manage to keep the roads open in this cold. I salute the workers 💪

this exactly why I use mobil 1 in my car it pours at -40 with no problem,better than any other I've seen on the market. back in the day it would take 15-20 minutes for a quart of regular oil to empty from its container if was left outside at these temps

I’m gonna be flying up there from Dallas in a few day for work. Don’t think the weather will be bad though. Somebody take me on a tour lol.

i'm surprised a car still works at that temp!

Amazing alaska...I'm from indonesia

Nice. It's a chilly 65f here in Cocoa Beach ✌️😉🌴🌴🌴

When it’s this cold it actually warms up at a higher altitude.

Ahhhh, what a great ending to this video, "The worst is when dogs that are chained up are eaten by wolves because they can't get away" O_O. But great vid other than that lol. Idk why I need to watch these though, I live here lol.

2:42 I live in the hills beyond that overpass

Was stationed at Fort Wainwright from Oct 1961 until May 1963. While there we had a record -72 below. It was at or below -50 for two weeks. Froze inside barracks. We used our arctic sleeping bags to keep warm.

I have a awd dodge charger and I don't even drive that fast on snow you never know who has to instantly break always drive carefully and keep your distance and break ahead of time when you coming to a stop

My friend lived here for 3 years and she tells me all the stories of how cold it was. But it’s such a small town that everyone knows each other.

Just keep sending the oil south and take care of the polar bears. Pictures will be just fine

it's kind of relaxing how these people can talk for ages about the same thing

No Thanks, 78 degrees here in SC and playing golf tomorrow in Nov. is more my style!

People here sure drive fast, even in winter.

It’s because we drive so much in the winter, to the point where we are some of the best drivers in the world

Genial! :)

14:20 Jesus I was just thinking about how awesome to live in that kind of weather because I like cold weather and that part of the conversation killed it for me

It never gets that cold where I’m from. I used to live in Northern Michigan and the lowest it gets is -5. It actually is slightly warmer because it’s near the lakes. It’s usually 25-35 degrees and snows A LOT more than there. The snow depth is usually 4-5 feet Where I live now, its 30-40’s and the most it snows is a foot but the snow depth is usually bare grass

I'm from the opposition side of the lake in the Green Bay area it definitely drops to those temps in January but with wind chill and only for 1 or two days when we get a polar vortex.

I feel like I'm in the backseat..so Relaxing

Ryan Peronto relaxing? Shit, it’s scary! I hope this fella is still driving.

If it ever became -50 here it would come to a complete stand still. it would be apocalyptic.

I have never been up there, I just wonder how to get through those bitterly cold winters up there, lived in Anchorage as a kid though

Looks like paradise.
