I guess one of the most surprising things about living in Alaska has been how quickly we have acclimated to the climate. We had a couple of weeks this winter when the temp never got above zero; the the ice was about a half-inch thick on the inside of the windows; and when the temperature gradient between inside and outside approached 100 degrees. So when the temperature got back up in to the mid- to upper-20's, we were ready to pull out the shirt sleeves and the shorts!
Today we were doing our usual Saturday shopping and running around and we were in jeans and t-shirts and were really comfortable. Then we noticed that the outside temp was 49 degrees and could not help but laugh. In late August/early September, Christy and I are going to be in the D.C. area for Christy to attend a practicum for her school. We figure we will just melt into puddles and they will have to send us home in a blotter!
