well now - let's see - winter clothing........hmmmmmm

not really restricting - when its storming outside a pair of thick twister socks, a pair of sweats and a tee under a big baggy sweatshirt is very comfy! a nice book, or a good movie, a mug of hot chocolate and a fuzzy throw to curl up on the couch with while watching big beautiful flakes falling from the sky!

and then of course - the down side - don't watch them fall for too long - we've gotten 14 feet of snow in less than 24 hours at times!

and your shovel is your best friend.............

then it's back into the house for hot chocolate, and a couple more blankets! LOL

It sounds SO weird 'cause folks say it all the time, but if you experience time in a place w/ NO HUMIDITY, weather is completely diff'rent. I grew up in and now live again in the mid-west where we "enjoy" 80-100% humidty which makes for unbearably hot/sticky summers and bone-chilling, DEEP-COLD winters- which BOTH are awful. (BEAUTIFUL Falls and Springs, though!)

As far as Alaska, of course most folks who've never been there, FEAR and TREMBLE at the very thought- but since there's NO HUMIDITY even 30 below zero doesn't feel as cold as 20 degrees in Illinois does! It's really weird. To me, Alaska summers (80-90) and even Alaska winters are PERFECT, 'cause there simply is no humidity! I've NEVER felt anything colder than a midwestern winter, and never felt anything more unbearably HOT than a heartland or southern summer. Both are yuchy to my taste. Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alaska? HEAVEN on earth!
