I actually have a couple of ideas for you:

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairbanks,_Alaska#Climate

Those places have a climate that's close to that of the one on this thread. I wish those could become big cities.

Why is that?

[dunno what to put here]

They won't become big cities, for obvious reasons.

I'm a person that likes cold weather. Alaska has always been one of my favorite in terms of weather, but it's mostly comprised of small, rural towns, half of them don't even have road access.

I got that part. But why the big cities?

Fairbanks is big enough for me.

It could lead to more attractions there, leading more people to move into the state. Being in isolated rural places can lead to feelings of loneliness. If some people have to fly in and out of town all the time, that would be more inconvenient than just driving there.

Alaska is also one of few states that have lack of a major metropolis.

One of the draws to Alaska is the fact that it IS isolated and wild. I don't think people live in Alaska to live an urban lifestyle.

Why did you stop creating weekly forecasts and such? They were rather entertaining.

F-: those winters are horrible. Nobody wants to live in such temperatures.
