I have NO IDEA what is going on with that July record low of -14! I thought it may very well be a typo, but Wikipedia says the same thing for the record low of that month! Wasilla, Alaska - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Note the Wikipedia's information, especially regarding record highs during the summer, varies some from what weather.com says).

And now for the C-D charts:

UGH! I forgot to attach the poll!

Ah well, I would give this climate a B. No plus, no minus, just a B. A bit more precipitation in the summer than I would like, but otherwise a fine climate.

B. I like the temps and precipitation (though more in winter and less in summer would be nice). But I'm tempted to raise it to B+ because of Sarah Palin! Palin 2012! (no I'm not insane)

Wonderful temps. Winters are cold, but not too cold (Minneapolis winters are colder.) A+

F temperatures in winter look similar to Ottawa where I went to school but much drier with less than half the precipitation. I absolutely hated the winter in Ottawa so I assume I will hate the winter in Wasilla.

D, summers are OK (colder than winters in my ideal climate though!) and with long daylight hours I assume so it must be a quite enjoyable part of the year, though the record July low is CREEPY (or a likely typo)
