Hey this is my first post, but I just wanted to say that winter in Alaska is not depressing, despite the rumors. It's amazing, this winter we've had a warmer season than the poor folks on the East Coast US. As of right now, there is NO snow on the ground, it's all melted, and today it was a decent 44 degrees, yes, in Alaska, in Feb. But this is not normal, usually it is very cold right now. We deal with the darkness just fine, we usually end up sleeping more in the wintertime, kind of like hibernating. But in the summertime its a whole different ball game, we get TONS of light, all the way through midnight! So you can imagine that the whole town is active in the summer time even at 12am and sunny outside..

One good thing about winter is that sometimes the cold drives you into bed with your lover..

Thanks for listening to me on my first post, I know it was lame.
