Is it actually news that it's cold in Alaska in January? Slow news day for the US News?

I don't think that minus 62 is just ordinary old cold, even for Alaska. I can barely handle plus 62.

It's just a bit on the chilly side for those settled areas at least.

that's cold!!! I was telling my hubby a couple days ago what a weird winter we have had. I am worried my flowers might start to grow early and then get a cold blast killing everything.

Completely. I do not like the cold and cannot for the life of me understand why people choose to live where the weather tries to kill them.

Cold doesn't bother me too much, although 62 below is a bit extreme. I would rather live with the cold than the snakes, spiders, and other scary things that live in warm climates.
