Anchorage Weather

Most people think Alaska is all frosty and brutal cold. We are a huge state with many climate zones. Here in Anchorage, we have lovely summers with moderate temperatures in the 70s and 80s. Clear fresh air and fabulous gardens. The winters are a bit long, but comparable to a northern midwest winter. We are not dark for 6 months. The sun comes up all year long here in Anchorage. Granted, it rises at 10am-ish and sets at 4pm-ish in December, but it stays dusk and twilight for a very long time. The Northern Lights----what can I say? Magnificent.
