Alaska’s winters are something else.

So cold that on a quiet night, that when you take a hot cup of coffee and throw it in the air. You’ll hear a weak crack sound and the coffee turns instantly to snow before drifting to the ground. (-40F)

So cold that the snow covered roads are no longer slippery.(-20F) (Its like driving on something similar to hard compacted dirt – watch out for where a car has been idling though, like at the stoplights).

[quote=UCGal] Nope – this house would be dubbed functionally obscolescent by Brian and deemed a tear down by others. But it works for us.[/quote]

haha… UCGal, I think that a 2000sf house with a companion in-law house, and a nice courtyard in between, is definitely not fuctionally obsolete.

Not having A/C is a detriment.

But a 1000sf wood cottage with only one bath, bad insulation, and no garage is definitely functionally obsolete.

I’d say there’s absolutely nothing functionally obsolescent about having an open-air courtyard between the main house and the in-laws!

The northern part of the state is on track for a very wet year, La Nina or no La Nina.

This chart of selected stations suggests this may be another 1982-83, which ironically was a classic strong El Nino year:
