New from Alaska

Thanks for the add.. I live in Petersburg, Alaska on Mitkof Island; and while riding on an 200 sq mile island from SL to 3000' might see a bit boring and redundant, I still find ways of getting my M7-153 stuck.... but I wouldn't live anywhere else.

Welcome to Snow and mud.
What kind of temps do you see up there?

I was going to try and convert this to deg C, but I'm not that sharp. This is a maritime rainforest, so average winter temps are hovering around freezing most of the winter months. But, under heavy cloud cover. We can get a big dump of snow for a couple of days and see it rain away a few days later at sea level. Luckily, a few miles down the road we can get to elevation really quick.

When the clouds blow out like it's been for the past few weeks, (which is really rare) - severe clear, temps drop in to the low 20F's to teens daytime and 0F at night. We might see below 0F negative night time temps for a week or two in the dead of winter.

Bottom line, I haven't worn a proper winter coat in my 10 years here. I'm originally from the frigid mid-west. It's balmy here.

Nice. Got to like winters like that.
