I spent 2 years at Eielson near Fairbanks and the coldest winter I spent in Fairbanks is when I got on the plane when it was 30 below and stepped off in DSM where it was 20 above and wet. Never been so cold in all my life as I was in Iowa that Christmas.
Summers were tough too since you could go all night and into the wee hours of the morning with sunlight.
Where abouts are you up there?
