How can you Alaskan's live in a place that doesnt get warmer than 70 degrees. (Anchorage: living in, moving)

Only a few of the info confirming links were posted. Doubt away. All info is to be picked apart, right? Just criticizing small parts you do not like is getting popular these days.

This tells rather a different story than what's been claimed. So no, it isn't what it is.


According to the National Weather Service, above 90 temps in Fairbanks are pretty rare.

Alaska Heat Wave: 90-Degree Temperatures Break Weather Records - International Science Times

If you click on the bottom link it states............." Fairbanks has only gone above 90 14 times in the last 109 years

any one who posts some junk that says Fairbanks Alaska has more 90+ days than Birmingham Alabama is going to get questioned by any sane person.

Questioned indeed... though last year was interesting:

Birmingham has finally seen 90-degree weather. How long will it last? | AL.com

Thanks.

That link showed very little as it was all about the number of days between the first 90 degree day of the season and the last 90 degree day of the season.

I take it you didn't take the time to read the note in parens at the top of the page:

"Days Greater or equal to 90 degrees (*except Alaska ≥ 70 deg)"

[SandHills]

Yes, true. Thank you.

I'm obviously in the wrong business. I should be sending out emails from Nigeria; you would think that market has dried up but this thread proves otherwise.
