only to wake up the next morning with temps in the 30's and say "Oh hell no" 
Props to Roger in alaska and anybody who has to go longer than 2 months of temps in the 30's
Does anyone on the OT actually enjoy long winters?
if so why?

This has got to be one of the most Florida statements I’ve ever heard.

I love the cold. I could do it

The footage they show is beautiful. The people having to wear 4 coats and a bear skin precludes me from wanting to live there.

It intrigues me because you would be able to get away from mass consumer idiot society a little more up there. Find some peace and quiet. I like cooler weather and have gotten to hate summer as I have gotten older due to the heat. But, yeah, once you start getting into single digits on a regular basis it would get old quick I would think.

Beautiful scenery, terrible living conditions. No way I'm freezing my arse off 8 months a year.

I love the snow. Love the cold weather. Hate the heat down here.

Heck no.
I like some colder weather but there is a fine line for me and having extreme cold for that long is just not how i want to live.
I thoroughly enjoy doing outside work in the warmer weather without a shirt on so my tattoos show so i can piss off my neighbors

Every Alaska show I see, no running water and an outhouse. My wife says nope.

Temps in the 30s?
Baw it gets a lot colder than that.

I was stationed there for 3 yrs; its THE most beautiful state and it's not close and the weather/temps ain't the #1 reason I don't want to live there.......#1 is earthquakes

Alaska gets to -30. 30 is laughable when it gets 60 degrees colder.

Hard pass.
I fricking hate winter. It’s miserable enough around here despite going years between snowfalls in most cases.
Weird thing is that I work with people from up north, such as the Dakotas and various Canadian provinces, and they bitch about the winters here too. Apparently it has to do with the humidity level.

$8 a gallon for milk and i believe gas is close to that amount along with many parts can't have alcohol prevent me from finding the charm in living up there

The Alaska Permanent Fund checks help offset some of that.
Couldn’t pay me enough to do it but getting checks would convince some people.

In Anchorage wintertime is about -10 to +10 on a daily basis and it's not that bad really bc the humidity is quite low.

BIL is from Chicago and always complains about the cold here

Yeah, neighbors at my lake live in AK full time. Come down during the winter. She always complains the cold is different. She doesn't say colder, just the humidity makes the cold stick.
