Actually rather moderate

Alaska is a large state and the climate varies markedly across it. Anchorage is located on the coast, and it's climate is moderated by the ocean. Summer days rarely exceed 70 in Anchorage. In contrast, a hot summer day in Alaska's Interior can reach into the high 90s. Anchorage's winter days are usually below freezing, and often below 0. Still winters in Anchorage are less severe when it comes to temperature, snowfall, and ice than in some of the lower 48 states.
