Ohh nice! I live near Fairbanks

I grew up there. My Dad worked at UAF. Still have family but they moved to Big Lake so I don't get back to Fairbanks much but I do have alot of friends that stayed or moved back.

Coldest was probably in the single digit negatives, hottest would be around 120 feels like, it was probably only in the one teens but that humidity really makes it much worse.

 

[Evadig]

I'm really not sure what the coldest weather we've had was - I think high negatives, like -5 F. Hottest temperature was around 119 F.

IDK. Coldest was probably mid to upper teens. Hottest* was probably 100+ with humidity.

*Also a summer traveling through the DSW. Might have been 98, might have been 117. I don't remember. I do remember Phoenix having the hottest damn asphalt my feet have ever felt.

Now you know why I wear sandals all year.

Did you just say you wear sandals all year? Well, I do. I wear barefeet where possible and sandals almost everywhere else.

Down here we wear western or work boots all day because if the blazing asphalt doesn't getcha the Medicago polymorpha will. Theres also pit vipers, fire ants, scorpions, ticks, parasites, brown recluse spiders, and broken beer bottles to watch out for. Sandals don't cut it because you're going to get bit or impaled right in the exposed foot.
