I wish I was there. It's funny because when my husband wanted to move to Alaska years ago I thought he was crazy but now that I've lived where it snows I really think I'd love it there. I've did the hot SW thing for years and I'm over it. I remember when I was 18 we went to the mountains for about 2 weeks for Christmas and I loved it. I walked everywhere and loved being out in the cold and snow.

The problem with Alaskan winters is not just the snow but the extreme cold.  I think coping with -40 degrees would get old really fast.

Even tho I've been griping about another heat wave down here in PHX, Alaska is NOT an option.    I'm originally from Chicago......been in LA and PHX for 45 years, and going anyplace else is not an option......(!)

@Desertdi   The extreme Az heat is the reason I live in NM and not there.  Much more temperate here.

@Kachina624..........I have to admit, the DIRT here is wearing on my nerves.........dust, dirt, grit.......on everything.    di

It's a rainy Monday here in the South, and in the upper 70's/80!

I remember when I lived in New Mexico the frozen mud slides and the AF Guard using helicopters to rescue people.  Mainly in west NM.  Does it still do that?

[Kachina624]

@Desertdi.  Yes, admittedly there is a lot of dust.  I thought my dogs were responsible for a lot of it.  Can you imagine the disaster black granite countertops would be?  I have to dust my black, seldom used glass stovetop.  It's mostly in the spring though.

@traveler.  I've never heard of that happening since I've lived here.

That  was from 1981-1992, mainly on the reservation.
