Alaska Snow | In Photos

For most, the thought of Alaska conjures up visions of snow, snow and more snow.Of course during Alaska’s winter months there is lots of ice and snow and sub zero temperatures, summer time temperatures can get to the high 70’s. The climate in Alaska during summer would certainly be classed as comfortable. The Chugach Mountains and also the Alaska Range coupled with warm Pacific Ocean currents protect towns such as Anchorage the Alaskan capital making it very pleasant during summer months. Another common mistake people make when imaging Alaska is that you have 24 hours of darkness during winter and 24 hours of sunlight during summer.
