It really doesn't snow all that much in Alaska. Probably more in Montana,
Wyoming, Dakotas, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado, etc. Alaska just
gets cold in the plains/desert area (yep, desert) up toward the Arctic
Ocean. And Anchorage and Kenai Peninsula aren't as cold as one would think.
Prudhoe Bay gets only 12" of precipitation a year including snow. Go figure!
Geography lesson over...
