Alaskans eat more ice cream per capita than any other state, or so I have read. And no one who has been immersed into frigid waters can state that those extremities didn't fade into the background. THEY DO! Yup. beanies and weanies shrink like mimosa in those temps, just a wee bit faster.

Anything other than 77F in summer and above -20F in winter is either too hot or too cold!

being a life long Alaskan, when you reach a certain cold temp like 1 degree, 20 is like a heat wave. your body gets used to it. I know I am sick saying this.
