A couple of weeks ago we had temperatures around -26 - -36 C quite frequently. Back then they were talking about -40 again as the lows but nowadays we are back up to above freezing. But back then I was (well I still am sitting) sitting in front of my wood stove with my kitty cat and relaxing. The good news are that it's getting lighter, and equinox already passed. When it's lighter the chances of crashing with moose is also significantly lower.. Another good thing about life here lately is the aurora. It has been active most of february but now it's really tampering off....
The Aurora is usually pretty consistent, at least in the northern hemisphere. If the nordic countries see the aurora, it is pretty likely Alaska will too.
