Our chronicles as we create our off-grid homestead in Interior Alaska -- from escaping the rat race and big city, to extreme cold weather subsistence/self-sufficient living just outside the Arctic Circle.

OK this is getting ridiculous...
Yes, that's not a kick off the ass of 110F on our deck
I said it was Alaska... Not Arizona...

Heh, and I thought I was imagining that temp here in Fairbanks. READY FOR AUTUMN.
Yeah, I know, right?!! Granted our thermometer isn't a perfectly calibrated precision measuring device... but it can't be off by too much in either direction. Anyway, once you're at the extremes does 5 degrees one way or the other really make that much of a difference?!
The extreme spread from coldest to hottest is one of the things that makes the Interior different from other regions in AK and nearly all of the L48. Heck, even our day-night swing can be over 50 degrees... on our 110-ish day, our night temp dropped to 5o-ish. Crazy!

Are you sure you're in Alaska? That makes a 170 degree temperature spread from the coldest to the hottest!

Hey guys don't feel alone, I had a 110 at my place also. The temps have been crazy this year.
