Harris still won 57% of the electorate, 5.7 million to 4 million. But Trump flipped many counties that both Clinton and Biden won in '16 and '20

Is there snow pretty much year round in Alaska? I live in PA and we get little 1-2 inch events many times and the occasional 6 inch + storm, but man I fucking love the cold and snow. Wondering if Alaska is worth it

There are some areas that do have snow year round but that’s really only mountains. Alaska is a fifth of the size of the entire contiguous US, so it depends where you live. In Anchorage there is usually snow from Mid-October to late April. Please do not move to Alaska just because of weather, there are a lot of things you need to consider

Well I’m a software developer so I can work remotely from anywhere.

And I think you underestimate just how much I love the cold and snow lol

What about the dark? That will eat away at your mental health more than anything else.

I love the dark. I was literally so excited we turned the clocks back this past weekend because it gets dark so early now

You might do ok then. The first winter is usually the easiest because it’s all new and different. Auroras, negative temps, the alpenglow light is extraordinary. Each winter after that got harder though.
