I would love to relocate to AK, but I think Fairbanks is too cold for me (and I'm from Minneapolis!). The coldest I've ever been in was -46F and I just can't imagine a winter where it routinely gets that cold.

That's great that you guys have almost 6 hours of light already! I was there for July and the first part of August and the 24hr daylight was awesome! I loved Alaska, but I think Anchorage is more of a climate I could handle. It seems that Anchorage is the same or slightly warmer than Minneapolis in the winter.
