Review of Fairbanks, Alaska

Comfortable, But Winters Are Getting Harder
Star Rating - 6/25/2015
I have lived in the Fairbanks area for about 25 years and have become very comfortable with the community and the lifestyle here. That said, retirement is fast approaching and I am finding it harder and harder to enjoy or even tolerate the winter months. When I was young, winter was an adventure. In middle age it was just something to deal with. Now, it seems like it really is becoming a pain. I'm not sure if I really want to deal with it as an older person and am actively looking into retiring to a warmer climate.

Don't move to Socal is my only advice, especially the Coast.
