This is what my wife and I woke to this Sunday morning:
Okay, you win.This is what my wife and I woke to this Sunday morning:
The fog is natural as it usually happens when the temperature drops to perhaps -30º F and colder:
That’s brutal. I’m not built for those temperatures! Stay warm and safe.This is what my wife and I woke to this Sunday morning:
Just a few minutes of sunlight as you can see (sort of reddish colors) a few yards behind the birch tree (took the photo from the back porch of my house around 1:30 PM). The fog is natural as it usually happens when the temperature drops to perhaps -30º F and colder:
Thanks! When it is this cold my wife and I stay at home and sometimes my wife wears heavy winter clothing and walks to one of our neighbors who lives across the street. Our neighbor loves Alaska, but she dislikes the cold winter temperatures. She won't even walk to our house, and sometimes drives her car from her house to ours
Most times I have noticed that the ice fog in the interior of Alaska where I live, happens at the ambient temperatures near the minus 30's degrees and colder. It is certainly present by the time the temperature reaches -40º F (-40º C). As far as I understand it, this fog is comprised of crystalized water vapor. In this case any moisture is the air turns to ice, including the moisture from automobile exhausts, from boilers and furnaces, power plants, even one's breath, and so on. Somewhere close to -40 degrees and colder, one can toss hot water or coffee in the air, and it almost instantly turns to ice fog. There are some videos about this subject floating around in YouTube
-3 is tolerable and the snow should be amazing. 55 degrees though is awful and I am someone who loves warm/hot weather.
Sat in four layers inside most of winter. We keep the house between 14-16.5 degrees most of the time. Far too cold for my liking.Thanks!

I keep mine at 17 then push up to 20 in the evening. At the moment I'm paying around £240 a month for gas & electricity.
I remember hearing of someone who was (I think) a distant relative who lived in Alaska and liked it, but was thinking of moving away eventually, because as they got older, they were less tolerant of the winters. This would have been 30 years ago--I now wonder what happened...
