Freezing weather sucks. You never hear people saying they're moving somewhere because it's cold there. But you hear plenty of people saying they're moving or have moved somewhere because it's warm and sunny there. For weirdos here who love the cold weather, Alaska is perfect for you guys. I hate the cold but I think it would be kind of awesome to live in Alaska. OK, maybe not live in Alaska but it would be cool place to visit.
It's supposed to be blistering cold here starting tomorrow. I'm not leaving the house for a week except to take my dog out to pee and poop. It's so cold in the US that some sharks are actually freezing to death.

Alaska is big, very big
Anchorage is usually nice in the summer with highs in the 60s and 70s, though records indicate mid 80s are possible. The winter typically will have lows around -10F, but sometimes goes down cooler (records show -38F)
Fairbanks is much more extreme, in summer, it will get into the 80s a lot, and even into the 90s sometimes. In Winter, it's common to see -40, and -50 is even possible.
Juneau is a few degrees warmer than Anchorage in summer and winter,
San Francisco has cooler summers (but no real winter to speak of, so no winter fun like snowmobiling)
Seattle also has milder summers (but winters appear to be mild too)
Scandanavia has places with mild summers and cool winters (but not bitter cold) patagonia does as well, but otherwise .. it's hard to find
