In Fairbanks in the winter the sun doesn't come up for a month.


It does. Fairbanks gets about 3.5 hours of sunlight at Solstice, the days grow longer pretty quickly after that.

Alaska is a weird place with weird as frick people. Some people love it, some people hate it. I fell into the hate it category. You get desensitized to the scenery just like everywhere else and then it just becomes where you live. Glad I don’t live there anymore, I’m not a big fan of cold weather and really hate snow.

As for the sunlight argument, you mostly miss it. Kids are in school and adults are at work. It gets hard during those short days with feeling little to no sun.

I was there in the winter I believe twice and never saw the sun either time....seriously. Granted I was only there a couple of days each time tho.

ETA: it was a long time ago so maybe my CRS is kicking in
