I live in Alaska and we have plenty of snow. I have found that people either love it or hate it. How about you? We have a very long winter here...it starts in early October and lasts until mid-April. We often have dumps of snow...

Is anyone following the Iditarod this year? The Iditarod is the biggest sled dog race in Alaska and beyond. I have the fortune of being here in Alaska for it and always am there for the start. This year we had the opportunity to...

theakman I am sure jealous of those of you in SUNNY CA! I don't think the Iditarod is very popular. Dog Mushing isn't exactly a national sport. I agree on the endurance. I know that I would not last long. Sorry for the late reply! the ak man Go Lance Mackey...

theakman Tropical sure sounds right about now. It is 12 degrees and pretty windy today. I hope you get the chance some time to experience the joy of winter. I wonder what percentage of the earth gets snow or never gets snow? new discussion I am thinking

theakman I often want to escape winter! I think what I should do is plan a vacation at the end of each winter to get away.

theakman Does it snow much where you are from? I think we are all in agreement that the snow is fine as long as we can retreat to our warm and cozy houses when we are ready

theakman I agree that the less snow you get, the more unprepared you are. We drive and deal with snow all the time, everyday. We are to say the least, very comfortable conducting our daily routine in it and it seldom seems to disrupt it too much. I forget sometimes...

theakman Great response - thank you! 1. I agree that some of our best snow is in the mountains which we need to travel to 2. Holiday snow is awesome and makes the scene perfect! 3. Inconvenience of snow is definitely an issue, some days more than others 4....

theakman Thanks for loving Alaska! It is a great place!! I also am finding that the older I get, the less I love the snow. I think it is some of the inconveniences that are associated with snow that I enjoy less and less. But I am still a kid at heart and I still love...

theakman I agree on the humor of winter driving. At least you have the background if you do ever get snow. I am not sure that I could live without it. NM is a place I have often thought of if I was to ever relocate out of Alaska. Is it true that in the mountains there...

theakman Most people who have lived in warmer climates don't really like Alaska. It is so different for them. Why would you want to move to a colder area if you are in warm now. I often think about moving to a warmer part of the US, especially towards the end of our...

I am loving the show 'Human Target' - anyone else think it is one of the best to date? Movie quality. It seems like all of the good shows are canceled. Hopefully this one will have a long life. the ak man

A couple of weeks ago I started watching a show called Hell’s Kitchen. For those of you have never seen it, it’s kind of a reality show where wanna-be chefs compete for the number one position. The prizes are an obscene amount of...

theakman Thank you Bat for being able to relate. I was not sure if anyone was going to chime in and know what I was talking about. I agree, unless you are a restaurant person you really wouldn't understand the level at which we work sometimes. I certainly enjoy being...

Why do Alaskans eat more Ice Cream in the Winter than in the summer? Anyone have any guesses or thoughts? I am an Alaskan and I love Ice Cream. I think I know the answer, but I wanted to see what others thought before I shared my...

theakman this is only my theory! I am not sure why, but that is my guess at why subconsciously I eat more.
