Hello from Russia Sommers family! When I saw Bert splitting wood I remembered the story my grandma told me. During WWII her father was deployed and she was in her teens and the oldest of 3 girls. The was no other source of heat besides woodstove in the house. So she had to split wood with an axe and one time she almost chopped off her big toe luckily her cousin was a nurse and was able to provide first aid, they didn't any medication so they used film that's between eggshell and an egg, they wrapped the toe with it and it healed with time leaving only a scar. My grandma passed away a few years at the age of 90. One of the many lessons she tought me is that even in the darkest times there is a place for ambition and desire to excel. During war time very poorly clothed and always hungry she wanted to be first in her class at school. Her mom won't let her do homework in the evening because kerosene for the lamps was very scarce ( they didn't get electricity until 1950's-1960's). So she would wake up extra early do her homework before school and be the first to stand in front of the blackboard to answer teacher's questions. How I wish my grandma was still here with us 😢
Really neat story. She sounds like she was an amazing woman ❤
Wow what an Amazing LADY, Best Wishes from the UK 🇬🇧 xx
Thank you for sharing your Gramma's story with us!! I feel like the BEST part and moments in Life, is when we take time to talk with our elders and learn so MUCH we wouldn't have known. Then, Like you just did, shared your dear Memories with "like minded" folks.... This is the part of Humanity that I cherish three most. Your Grandma was only s very strong Lady!! God bless!! 🙌😊❤️
Hi happy peoples, I'm from Canterbury New Zealand. We do not have any real nasty animals here thank goodness. I loved seeing that Moose licking your windows last week, how amazing was that! Although i guess that isn't something you are delighted with, lol. It is spring time here, of lambs being born every day. We have a small flock of ewes of which many have lambed multiples, lots of twins, 2x triplets and 1 set of quads! We are feeding 3 of them by bottle, i am sure your kiddos would love to do this, lambs are super cute. Take care and keep warm up there. X
Hey, I'm 73 years old watching your family from Birmingham Alabama. We have some of everything you talked about. Lower Alabama is on the Gulf Coast and we get hurricanes. We are in Tornado Alley and we get tornadoes. We get hot temperatures in the summer and sometimes we get snow in the winter! We have roaches and snakes so we are a smorgasborg of Mother Nature. I love watching your family and I love your commitment to the Lord. You all make my day every time I see a video. Sending love!
We moved to Montgomery from California and I don’t think we will ever get use to the heat 🥵. It’s been almost 4 years and we still can’t handle the heat 😅
I am in South Mississippi, Mother nature is currently going crazy in the SOUTH! :)
Rosie Stephens I have family who live in Arkansas. Where they live is referred to as Tornado Alley. My guess is that many states have areas referred to as Tornado Alley.
Live in Illinois and my struggle would be the severe cold and heavy snow. I'm used to seeing temps of -10 degrees with the wind chill but would not be out in it unless it was necessary. Heavy snowfall for me would be about a foot of snow. I'm use to dealing with severe thunderstorms, high winds and hail and tornadoes. Great video as always. Bert, I have to take your side on the t-shirt color. Definitely salmon and not pink. Take care.
I live in Northern Minnesota, 120 miles from International Falls and the Canadian border. I wouldn't live anywhere else, LOVE IT HERE!!! It's not unusual to have -40 or -50 temps in January and February, but at the same time it's beautiful watching the snow fall from my living room windows while having hot chocolate and snuggling with my dogs! There's nothing better than that this side of heaven. I did live in Vegas for 13 years and both the heat and the traffic were unbearable!!
Bert, 40 years ago, my husband worked on projects in Alaska for an engineering firm; Tok was one of those places. Every visit you take to Tok brings back memories for us. Thanks for that.
His pipes are bustin out of that SALMON colored shirt Jessica, he's tryin to look sassy for you and you burst his bubble!! 😂😂😂
Chicago Illinois
I was thinking the same thing! 💪🏻❤️💪🏻 @somersinalaska
Bert is a handsome guy!!
I've never been to Alaska but one I'm going to come up there I'm from Central part of Kentucky and in winter here we have cold wet windy winter's and most of the time I'm outside in shorts and a hoodie for hours on end in the middle of the night shoveling snow so my elderly neighbors don't have to walk in it as long as my hands and feet are warm the clod doesn't bother me God bless you and your family and friends and everyone else who is reading this message 🙏🙏🙏
LOVE the box house/fort! I am 60 years old and have such fond memories of a “box house” my brother and I made from a refrigerator box when we were in grade school! So fun! ☺️
The old saying "He who cuts his own Wood is twice warmed!" (:
I love that saying!
Once when you cut it and once when you light it :)
I love the fort that your kids made out of that cardboard box. It reminded me of when I was a kid and my parents bought a new refrigerator. We got to keep the box and play with it for about three days, until it was trash day and time to get rid of it. My sister, brother and I turned that box into a spaceship in our garage. It was awesome! I'm glad you let your kids use their imaginations and create things out of boxes.
We used to that when were kids made fort out of cardboard boxes
As a military kid, we moved every 2 or 3 years. My little brother and I would connect moving boxes together to make forts and long tunnels. Oh, the simple and fun pleasures of childhood!
Me too!
This is the only UA-cam channel I watch consistently. Y’all bring me so much joy and make me strive for a better relationship with Christ.
Love from Conroe, TX
Currently in Green Bay, Wisconsin, but lived in Glennallen, Alaska for 5 years. I'll take windless -35°F over windy above zero temps any day!
I live in Eau Claire right now but am from MN. I also have a friend that lives up there in Green Bay.
My husband and I have moved from West Central Illinois to The Eastern Part of North Carolina!! Talk about weather changes..wow!! The lowest here in our area of NC it seems the low in the winter is 25° while in the area of IL would be around 15° with some days being -10--25. The summers are very humid here for longer periods at a time. What I miss about IL for weather is the nice breeze that is constantly available. Here it is so still at times!! Thank you Happy Peoples!! Love your family!! We did wood up in IL for sure!! Here, no need!
Hello from Woodstock Ontario, Canada. Living between some of the Great Lakes. We get about 193 cm of snow in average (76 inches). We don't get blizzards much, but we get ice storms and snow squalls often. Also our winter temperatures are not as extreme cold but the humidity makes the cold go right through you and that isn't talking about the wind. We are also in Canada's tornado Alley and yucky snakes. But no hurricanes or earthquakes.
Love the salmon t shirt. 😘.
Thanks for sharing your lives. God bless
Andrews Tx here! It was 93 degrees here today and the out look is for 90’s, 80’s, and a few 70’s my BB kind of Winter. All of you make me smile every-time I watch your videos, thanks so much for the boost in my outlook.❤️
I love the salmon shirt!!
The weather difference and tolerance has always amazed me. You’ve adapted to extreme cold, whereas I’ve adapted to extreme heat.
My husband is an Alaskan that transplanted to Florida. He claims that 40 degrees in florida is equivalent to -40 degrees in AK due to the humidity.
Which makes me laugh because people start bundling up when it dips below 75 degrees here
My daughter and her family moved from Seattle to Naples Florida to escape the cold , rain and grey skies and I LOVE being able to visit them once a year in all that humidity and sunshine and THUNDERSTORMS!
That’s good to know. We are moving to Alaska from Hawaii but originally from Upstate NY. I’m excited to have snow again.
North Carolina
I am in Amish country, Lancaster county, PA. I have lived the best years of my life in Fort Worth, TX. I have dealt with hurricanes, tornadoes, snakes, tarantulas, straight line winds, 100+ degree days for months at a time. I struggle with snow and cold.
Jessica, it takes a real man to wear salmon!
My parents have been married for 52 years. Today is my uncle's 25th anniversary. I was married almost 17 years before my husband died.
Garrett and Evelynn that fort was great!
Good luck with school Audrey! You can do it!
God Bless!
I could never live with all that snow and wouldn’t think of driving in it. Love your family. I live in TEXAS.I am 75 years old and it makes my bones hurt to see that beautiful snow and I love you fire place. Your home is lovely. Thank you for sharing you life with us. I get very lonely. I look forward to see your lovely family.
Ruth Smith thank you Ruth for your kind words. I lost my husband last March so I have been lonely. But God has been by my side brought people into my life that just a word or note brings joy in my life. Thank you again.
Hi there. My eye just caught your message. My mother is 82 and also lives alone for 16 years now. I am so amazed what she all still does. I watch Helen Wyatt. She is 80 and such a blessed soul to watch. She talks and talks and I cannot wait to watch her you tube. You will love her. You must see what she makes and she is so adorable. Has so many followers because she is so genuine. I turned 60 in June this year and I had tea and cake listening to her on my birthday. We were in stage 4 lockdown but you know what it was still a lovely day. I have twin daughters. My father in law was an identical twin and died at 95 two years ago and my mother in law is 92 also a twin. I am amazed how she is staying so jolly with all her friends at the home. We have not seen her for very long but she always has a story to tell. She loves the royal family. I find it so amazing how she keeps up with the latest news about them. I do know her friend shares the Hello Magazine with her. 🤭Bless you dear. I will think of you and say a little prayer for you each night. God Bless from South Africa. ❣🌷🦋🙏 Sorry if I rambled on but I just felt like a nice chat with you. 💙🌈
Hi guys, as my dad says “ it’s not the wrong weather, it’s the right clothes.” I’m here in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in England 🤟🏻🖐🏻
HI Kerry, Am studying the map of England, and know where Gloucestershire is on the map., Have found my closest cousins there, as I knew I had English ancestry, as my Grandmother was from Bath, England. Don't know what county my cousins are in. Am currently living in Eastern Tennessee, wish I was some place in England. .. Though I daily watch "The Bald Explorer", The Quest for England, (then name of video). Richard Vobes videos his walks throughout Sussex, and maybe close by counties. Am doing my homework, as I hope and Pray I can move over there in the coming years. Wish I was there Now, but you are in lock-down now, Right?
@@carolcordell5881 yes we’re in lockdown but this time of the year most people don’t venture to far from home because of the weather and it gets dark early here as well. I hope your dream of coming over becomes a reality soon, there’s so much more to England than people think. Happy travels stay safe.🖐🏻
Kerry, Thanks sooo much for your reply. Well, when I can actually visit, but would prefer to move there, don't know. In the mean time, must find ways to see the country side. Like I've mentioned, I've seen many videos of the "Bald Explorer ", UA-cam, where I can get an idea of what Sussex county looks like. One of my fascinations is viewing your English castles. There seems too many castles to count. When I can, I Google for English castles. It amazes me how people 800, 900 years ago, with crude tools could build such fascinating, large castles.
@@carolcordell5881 you’ll have to check out Warwick Castle in Warwickshire. My dad lives literally down the road in a place called Lord Leycestser Hospital. It’s a Elizabethan building and has a wonderful history, my dad is one of the brothers that live there. Also check out a program called “Country File” its by the BBC but you could find it on UA-cam, I think you’ll enjoy it
Kerry, Thank you so much for all your information . Have seen photos of Warwick castle, plus have seen photos of many other castles. I will check out that file. Thanks again for your information.
I live on Prince Edward Island, Canada and when it is hot it's hot; when it's cold it's cold and if you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes!
Lol I thought that was just Oklahoma...
Same in Massachusetts!
We were there for vacation couple summers ago we loved it there. We visited the singing sands it was beautiful there.
@@believeinyourself8895 glad you had a chance to visit. Up until 2020 PEI would attract millions of people and is a great place to visit and live...My wife and I are thinking of visiting Alaska when the Pandemic is over!
We visited PEI about five years ago and loved it! We stayed in North Rustico. Such a beautiful place. It reminded me of what I think Ireland would look like. We accidentally stumbled across the Potato Festival (or something like that) and thought it was fun!
Something that most people don’t realize is a thing (so only know because my daughter and I experience this), is that there is a summer version of SAD too. Terrible depression during the summer. And more happy in the winter. The long hot dry days. Day after day. Month after month. Suffocating heat that keeps you indoors for months. 😩. My dream has always been to live in Alaska.
We live in Medford Oregon.
Alaska struggles: Shipping prices! If they even ship here! Even Amazon sometimes won't ship some things. I too prefer the bigger wildlife - no snakes, ticks, roaches, etc. Been here almost all my life (over 50 years) and still like winter...but I wish the other seasons had a bit more of the calendar. Fall was so great and over so fast!
God bless you guys I so much enjoy watching you guys while I am cooking and cleaning for my husband of 26 yrs. and our four sons ages 23,22,21 and 19 and our two infant grandsons but when I am fed up with Chandler AZ watching you guys makes me forget how dry and hot it is here! We came her 20 yrs ago from Chicago and boy I miss the rain so much and even the snow sometimes! Your children are beautiful and you have a beautiful home and may Yashua and the Almighty always watch over you guys and bless you always!
I'm over here in California like....
High Winds: Got Those!
Snakes but mostly lizards: Got Those!
Cockroaches: Got Those!
Traffic: DEFINITELY Got That!
110 Degree Weather: Got That!
Crowds: The Reason We are Still in "Lockdown"!
Wait... why do I live here? 😂
Add: State income tax(California), Alaska Permanent Fund. Groceries are really inexpensive in California I recall.
Just to let you know we watch you from our little off grid homestead in Central Portugal. In the summer it gets up to 45 C degrees that’s roughly 120 F degrees. It’s either swimming pool or sit In front of the aircon. However in winter we can get a couple of days of frost at - 5C degrees when we have to watch the blossom on our orange trees. We visited Alaska in August 2010, hated the mosquitos. That’s something that would drive us crazy.
We love your channel, and will continue to follow your happy life.
I'm in Southern Ontario, Canada. We have all 4 seasons . We typically get 1 or 2 big snowstorms, anywhere from December to March. The weather isn't too cold for the most part. Thank you for sharing your life and adventures in Alaska .
We are from New Zealand. Your country seems so interesting .. it is so far out of the normal, temperatures, light hours etc! Love your content Somers Family! Good to see a family that put God first also like us run an electrical business. So much inspiration from your videos..Thanks for your regular uploads !! 😀
Also, with hurricanes you know for days ahead it's coming so you have time to prepare. With tornadoes you may only have minutes.
That's not entirely true, they normally tell us a bad storm is coming a day in advance while yes that doesn't always mean a tornado. You should prepare just incase
But no matter how you prepare for these hurricanes, you are never ready for them. They're vicious.
Imagine... I'm Isabel, I leave in the Azores, Portuguese Islands in the meadle of Atlantic Ocean. Here we experience a lot of hurricanes. However our winter temperatures, mostly the time, are your summer temperature. Love to follow you on you tube.
Hi I'm watching from Belfast Northern Ireland ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Jacqueline from California
Massachusetts! My husband and I travel all over the country and Canada. We transport exotic cars and test vehicles. We own our truck and get to visit Alaska 3 or 4 times a year...in the winter. We bring up test vehicles for cold weather testing to Delta Junction. We then get to hang out for two weeks while the cars are tested and then we bring them back to the lower 48. We have stayed in North Pole quite a few times, Fairbanks and Anchorage. We LOVE Alaska and love to visit different areas while we are there. It's great watching your videos because we recognize so many places you take the viewers. We are scheduled to be up there from November 3-18. Can't wait!
Could y’all please be praying for me I’m having bladder surgery this week Thursday & again in November. I have an autoimmune disease that effects my bladder that requires a lot surgeries on my bladder & it takes a lot out of me.
🙏 Prayers for a successful surgery and an easy recovery ❤️🧡💙💜💚🤍🤎🖤
Prayers. 🙏❤🙏
Prayer
Dear Lord be with Erin and guide the Drs hands for complete healing.
I said a prayer for you.
Watching from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦! We can get wind storms that do a lot of damage, I’ve been through a tornado and we get the extreme cold and snow too. But Alberta is a beautiful place to live!
Yep, damp cold is what we have and I'll tell ya what, layers are bae 😂 like for real. My husband determines how cold it is out by how many layers he has to wear to keep warm working outside. "Ughhh, it's a 3 pant day today." Or, "Today is 2 pant weather" lol
Y'all bantering at the end made my heart swell with joy( you guys just make me smile)🥰🥰
As for the snakes in the lower 48 I don’t like them much either.
A happy peoples from a small town in Croatia! 🥰🇭🇷 We got lucky - no tornadoes, no tsunamis, typically no strong earthquakes or scary animals, no hurricanes! The Mediterranean Sea doesn’t get hurricanes although the coastal part of Croatia does receive hurricane-strength winds which we have a special term for, “bura” or bora in English!
Humid snow in Maine. Potential for 2 feet plus in Nor'Easter storms!
East coast Roanoke, Virginia
Kind of sounds a bit like Ontario, Canada. Actually a lot like here. I’m not looking forward to snow. Ugh. I have a dear friend in Maine.
Lived in Maine a while ago for about 7 years. During the big snow-dumpers I usually had to negotiate the ice band between the coast with warmer temps and inland colder temps to get home from work, before remote connecting during bad 'weathah' was an option and I could stay home if the forecast was nasty. I'll never forget those white-knuckle drives home. 😬
I live in Southern Maine... I get the seasonal depression as well... I lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado for around 13 years and definitely understand the difference between dry and wet snow ❄ ☃️
Yeah, another Floridian here. Alaskans are definitely NOT wimps. You guys rock when it goes below 0. On the other hand, like the previous comment, When it goes down to 40 here we're getting out the winter coats and drinking hot chocolate huddled around the fire!!! We love you guys and look forward to every video. Blessings-----
Hi happy people! It was 35° here where I live in Kentucky this morning.
Hi it was 36 where I live in Missouri this morning
We live in Connecticut but getting ready to move to Maine. This pass summer we had numerous weeks of almost 100 degrees and a few bad bad tropical storms with high winds taking down big trees and no power , and we never get used to it. Winters you never no, its been mild but we do get bads where we've had so much snow we were shovel off the roofs of our homes. Love watching you guys.
Cardboard boxes are the best toys for kids.nothing better than your imagination. Really nice fort kids.i love it.
I have been watching y'all for around 9 months or so (?). I am so not a good estimator. I live in Rochester, NY, but I'm from Arkansas. I love your channel so much. I even use it as a schematic when I am making videos for our travel agency. I often stop and think, "How would Somers in Alaska do this?" My videos aren't top-notch yet like yours, but you've helped me greatly. Thank you for such a wholesome, enjoyable channel. ❤
I’m in Brisbane, Australia .. it’s the start of spring here and today it’s 29 degrees Celsius and humid ..
I’m in Brisbane too. Not looking forward to the hot humid summer. Perfect spring weather now however heat and humidity to come. Weather reports are saying it will be a wet summer
I live in Northern Alberta, Canada...we live near the foot hills, lots of Bush and lots of prairies so wind can be crazy here...we’ve had a few tornado warnings but our province doesn’t get a ton of them. Our Winters are similar to yours by the sound of it...not looking forward to it being dark at 4:30 pm...we get lots of -30 ish winter days and usually a few in the -40’s (Celsius)...we sometimes get a wind with the cold temps which makes it bitterly cold, but thankfully we have a dry cold here...and snow that stays for the entire winter. Our first snow comes in Sept or Oct and the snow leaves in April...it usually snows once in May. We have all the large animals here too (moose, Elk, caribou, buffalo, deer, bears cougars etc. I hope winter holds off until the end of November, but that’s wishful thinking😂.
Actually, if you go back a long time ago, pink was for guys. I live in Canada and it gets cold here but it is humid cold and you can feel it in your bones, not fun.
Up to the Victorian era, pink was the traditional colour for boys and blue was the traditional colour for girls.
@@victoriashevlin8587 Yes that is what I was saying thank you!
Alabama checking in here!! Lots of creepy crawlies, thunder storm's and tornados (currently waiting for the remnants of hurricane Delta to come our way), 90-100 degree summers, teens/single digit winters, and lots of love for you guys!!!
Western Queensland, Australia. Cannot handle the cold or humidity. Have all the creepy crawlies, cant handle them either.
On the coastal side of the San Francisco Bay Area, with the exception of a few weeks, we usually have mild weather, in the 50s - 60s, every year. We also have fog, fog, fog, and more fog! However, this year the fog was a blessing when it blew in off the coast and lowered temperatures from the 80s and 90s to the 60s and blew all the fire smoke off the coast out to the east.
Toronto Ontario Canada
It gets really cold here we have had wind chill of - 43 Celsius in late Jan early Feb
We get snow but sometimes not til January (some Christmas's have been totally green)
The more I watch ; the more I laugh today ! Thank you
We homestead in South Mississippi, and we have had so many Hurricanes this year that have hit the coast, so far 3, the fourth Delta is in the Gulf and is headed our way so we are used to Hurricane Season/weather it keeps us on our toes. Still are over this season though way to many back to back.
GossMania Homestead I have a condo in Ocean Springs MS. I live in Guntersville, AL but have family and friends on the MS gulf coast. Stay safe in the coming days!!
Keep safe💕
Hope and pray you did not get any storm damage. Stay Safe !!!
I am in Alberta and I get most of what you said. Our sun rises and sets about the same time as you, drive to work in dark, drive home in dark. We also get the extreme temperatures in winter and summer, I personally find it easier to adapt to -30c than to +30c in the summer, but others love the high heat. My perfect temperature is about 22c, no wind. As long as I have my lotion and lip chap, I am happy.
I agree with Bert that his shirt is salmon coloured.
During the summer we were not only dealing with a pandemic and lockdown, but 65 straight days of 105° or greater. Snakes, lizards,scorpions,javelins love it here in Tucson.
Here where I live in Texas, we finally have fall type weather. Like mid to high 80's and low would be between 55 and low 70's. It's creating nice beautiful weather here. Plus, it is a nice break from the heat and humidity. I am so used to dealing with hurricanes like it is no big deal.
Love our state but man summers I swear are getting warmer every year
RotaryFanatic I agree
I love that you guys are so humble. Such beautiful people that you are.
I’ve lived in Wisconsin all my life except for the years my husband was stationed elsewhere during his Army carrier. We definitely get some wicked whether year round with tornados and heatwaves of a 100 plus temps in the summer and blizzards and sub-zero temps in the winter. That being said - no matter. Where one loves it’s all about perspective and the outlook you take on your surroundings. We can either grumble and tolerate yucky weather until changes OR we can embrace the seasons. And enjoy them for what they are. My 1 big weather thing is I don’t think I could live in an area that didn’t have snow at Christmastime! That’s the kid coming back out in me FYI 😁. We were stationed for 3 years in Leaveanworth Kansas and on Christmas Day the first year it was 67 degrees( I snapped a time dated photo of the outdoor thermometer!) and we grilled out. To us native Midwesterners that was like being on another planet. Thanks so much for the upbeat vlog and blessings to you all💕🇺🇸
I also couldn't imagine no snow on Christmas, thats crazy talk! (From Your neighbor in Minnesota)
i lived all my life in california. then i retired and have lived in vancouver, washington state since 2005. I LOVE IT HERE! the snow. the rain. the cold. everything is clean and green year round. it's been getting warmer during the summer and winter months. i hope the temps will return soon to the colder washington temps that i've come to love.
Hello happy peoples!! Happy Monday! 💜💜
Hi happy Monday
Yay! It makes me so happy when I see a new vlog up! Thank you! My parents just had their 46th wedding anniversary in September. Congrats to your parents.
North Devon in the UK...it’s in the SW close to the cost! We’ve just had 3 days of rain and 85mph wind 🌬 💨 😁
I'm in Hampshire and we've had loads of rain and wind...
Hi Karan, I am former Alaskan, but currently live in Eastern Tennessee, where its hot and Humid. Am currently , "The Bold Explorer: the Quest for England, (then title of video), who videos walks throughout Sussex, so I think I get a sense of the country of Sussex,. Do know where Devon is, and I can understand the wind, as you have coastline on both sides. Am former Alaskan, growing up in SouthEast Alaska, with humidity, and Taku Winds. I KNOW all about wind. 85 MPH winds as that happened a lot in Juneau-Douglas, Alaska. Interesting to read your comments.
Richmond, VA here! We have it all, hurricanes, tornadoes, drought. Earthquakes are rare but they do happen. Every few years we might get some heavy snow but I personally have never seen more than 3 feet on the ground at once. The humidity can get pretty bad during the summers which for me is the absolute worst. Oh and we do have all the creepy crawly critters running around.
Honestly, Alaska seems like a dream! Not sure how I would survive the extreme cold winters though. 💙
We live in Panama City, Florida. We struggle if hurricanes from June 1st thru Nov.30th. Never get use to them.
I've been through more hurricanes in the past 47 years (on the southern US east coast) than I can remember and we wouldn't evacuate unless it was over 130+ mph winds. It's just what we know, grew up with, and thankfully have time to prepare for. Tornados scare me so much more. I would DEFINITELY struggle with snow if it was more than a day or two. Snow is BEAUTIFUL in pictures/videos, but I couldn't deal with it after 2 days, lol. And as far as hot temps...that's why we have a/c, baby! 68 degrees year round inside :)
It takes a real man to wear that color Bert!
Did you know originally when the pink and blue thing started that pink was considered a bold color choice and only males would be that strong and blue was safe and soothing and thus the color for girls... 😂
It’s just a color. 🙄
just meant that I like that color on men and most men does not want to wear soft colors that’s all.
Gillian Neil good point. Sorry, it just bothers me about boys/men that won’t wear pink. My teen boy loves the color pink!
It’s ok, pink is my favorite color I love buying my husband pick shirts and whenever he wears it I always say to him, it takes a real man to wear that color. 😃
Hello Happy Peoples, I´m an uruguayian living in Cordoba Argentina since 2000. Blessings to you all !!!
I love you guys I live in the Gulf Coast of Alabama hot weather hurricanes and we're looking looking out for another one headed our way I'm Blown Away from the thumbs down that you got I would love to know I'm going to do my research and find out who caviar thumbs down don't worry I want say anything bad but y'all were such good people I love you all and God bless you all keep your videos coming thank you
You have a beautiful family. Love watching you all.
Living in Canada, I relate more to Alaska in some respects, except we tend to get some high winds, hurricanes, tornadoes and the occasional earthquakes. All are far weaker than some of the US States, but we do get something from everywhere, I even joke that we have monsoons, apparently we do in some areas. I dislike the heat most of all, it starts getting to 75+ F and I'm looking at the AC. We were one of the first houses in our area that actually got AC since they were rare here also, but it's been getting hotter over the years. I wasn't living without it and I was thankful for it when it was hitting 100+. lol Stay safe!!! 😊💖

I ain't never heard it called that before lol 😂🐍 oh my stars. That's just what them dang gum things are danger noodles
We have a house in Southern California and one in Sugarland Texas. We’ve mostly stayed in Tx since the beginning of summer. Traded the cool breezes, crowds and smoke filled sky’s for little traffic, mosquitoes and hurricanes . Their is always something you have to get used to wherever you go.
I know nothing about the cold. We live in Orlando Fl near Disney. The traffic is horrible, the heat is unreal and it's just no fun. I'm ready to move where they have all 4 seasons and no traffic :)
Amen, I don't like traffic.
I always wanted to live somewhere that has all four seasons! I’m praying that the military sends us somewhere with all the seasons.
@@MrsReed-lf9iz thank you for your service! 😁
Cutelittlecupcakes mom my husband is the one that’s in the military but thank you ☺️
@@MrsReed-lf9iz when he serves you serve. My brother was in the Army and I feel like his whole family had to serve for the many yrs he was in. Tell him thank you!! 😁
Learning more about the weather differences. Makes more sense to me now when you go out with a short sleeve shirt. I get it more now.
Where to start living here in Australia
Everyone knows about the snakes and spiders but there is so much more to fear over here.
Our summer temps can exceed 130f while our snowfields actually get a greater annual snowfall than the swiss alps.
Aus sits just 1600 miles north of Antarctica so we get all the crazy sealife, 20 foot sharks, whales, penguins and dolphins.
Aus has one million wild camels who are actually very destructive animals who decimate entire natural habitats.
One camel can drink 30 gallons in 15 minutes and then wander the desert for 6 months before drinking again.
Aus has around 400,000 wild horses called brumbys throughout the eastern half and hundreds of thousands of wild dogs.
Australia land mass is equal to 97% of the USA's lower 48 but with only 25 million population.
Thw state of Western Australia holds 2.7 million people and is more than triple the size of texas
Aus has the worlds longest national highway at 9000 miles long and worlds longest links golf course at 850 miles long
Australia has 6 species of stinging trees, the most well known is called the gympie gympie or by its common nickname the suicide tree.
Its a medium sized bush with big flat leaves that grow thousands of fuzzy hair like needles on each leaf, each needle carriers a venom similar to our vonomous spiders and a simple brush of one leaf can embed thousands of the toxic needle under the skin causing extreme agony lasting for months if not treated quickly.
Anyone stung would often choose to end it themselves if medical assistance was not available giving it the suicide plant nickname.
I've always dreamed of visiting there, changing my mind quickly! Louisville, Kentucky USA 🇺🇸
I have always wanted to go to Australia. You just provided me with so much information. Facinating!
Nashville, TN here. :) I'm originally from Queens, NY though so when the Tornado hit us this past March, it was the most scared I've ever been.
My name is molly and I'm watching from a town called Pocklington in East Yorkshire in the UK 🇬🇧
Glad to see you're Christians.
Molly, Just saw your comment under "Somersinalaska", Am doing my own study on England. Have studied East Yorkshire before, but must have missed Pocklington. Is it right on the coast? A village? Am a former Alaskan, currently living. In East Tennessee. Have recently found cousins in England, but have no Idea what county they live in. My cousin says she has photos of "our"relatives. Sooo have an interest in moving, visiting a few years from now. In the mean time I study. Carol Cordell
I live near Melbourne Australia. Our weather is temperamental. Like four seasons in one day. In winter we go down to 0 Celsius up to very hot in the 40 s. We have lots of creepy crawlies snakes,lizards,possums etc. We have bushfire and floods. I love learning about Alaska..Keep up the good work Somers
Southern California, possums,raccoons, skunks, snakes,lizards,roaches, coyotes and this is in my backyard.
Wyoming! Brutal winters with even more brutal wind! Bugs animals, all of it. A paradise in itself.
Scotland ....... the land of heather and the Loch Ness Monster 😀xx
Scotland is one of the more beautiful places to visit; even more so than Ireland and Ireland is also beautiful. The Loch Ness Monster is nothing more than a tourist attraction. When I think of Scotland, I think of Belle and Sebastian before I think of the Loch Ness Monster. Pubs and Football more so. I also miss it there.
Hello Scotland
South Dakota. Cold here now. 65 in the middle of the day. 34 to 24 the start of the day.
I live in Ayrshire Scotland , we can have all four seasons in one day 🤣😂🏴x
I agree I stay in Glasgow and we have strong winds rains quite a lot. we do have rain wind sun all in one day. what I don’t like about Glasgow or Scotland is the government don’t even do the side roads when it’s full of ice and snow and even walking on it is killer. we do have lovely places this time of the year to go to. Like callender the campises local wee places just a quick drive from Glasgow. I stay at the highest point in Glasgow which is up in balornock Springburn and I gonna walk down hills to places which at times can’t be fun due to the ice and driving up the huge bus hill is crazy! I have images of what Glasgow and Scotland looks like though each stage of the year for you all x
I live in central Iowa. I chuckle when you talk about how windy it is when it's 13-16 miles per hour. It's not uncommon to have that here. In the winter when a storm moves in, we have snow and wind gusts of 40-50 miles per hour. Thankfully that doesn't happen everyday in winter.
But you have mosquitoes the size of hummingbird birds(lol)
🤣
A hummingbird thats a small one
My son lives in Palmer, we love ALASKA. We are from South Carolina originally from Cold snowy wet upstate New York. We haven't seen a Moose in Alaska or a snake in
South Carolina. We have seen a lot of beautiful birds, the Great Blue heron, and Puffins in Alaska. Love your family!!
Well you wouldn't have made it back on labor day weekend in Los Angeles when it was 120 degree 😓😰😓😰😓
Wow....
I'm from Atlanta, GA. There's lots of traffic, lots of people, lots of deer, lots of water bugs, hot summers, relatively cold winters and very little snow. Our biggest issue is the ice, not the snow because we have black ice.
I'll say is pinkish salmon but I love a man in pink and yes I'm a girl but it takes a real man to wear pink and he is I think it looks good love you guys
I agree, I love it when my man wears pink as well. I feel like a lot of guys look great in pink, especially the salmon pink color
Hello from Minnesota! We have the same COLD CLIMATE in winter 🥶 ❤️ Tornadoes in the summer and 75 MPH WINDS ARE STRONG! You are absolutely right by stating those winds are strong! Seek shelter at 75 MPH 😮❤️
omg NO ROACHES? i am SO moving ;to Alaska. I have an extreme phobia of roaches. Had one go down my shirt during one of ,my school bus runs. Hello from Sunny Orlando Fla. love you guy. glad you are ok.
I would have died if a roach touched me 😩
Oh my gosh! I might have stripped my clothes off!!!
Roaches/water bugs.... HUGE.. the size of my thumb!!
In the good old Phoenix we have had 138 days of temperatures over 100 degrees this year... the previously record was 143 days set in 1989. We are ready for winter!!
My parents married 76 years.
I'm with you on the heat, I'm in the UK and I melt in 75°heat. We have high winds a lot. We have about 17 hours of daylight in the summer and about and 17 hours of darkness in mid winter.
I am living in Ireland for a bit over 25 years now. I still can't get used to the damp weather. The coldest winters we had since I am here were around 12 years ago with Christmas day being 17 below zero and a few inches of snow. Turned the country into chaos. We get a lot of wind here too. I am not sure if I could cope with your extreme cold, but I definitely prefer the dry cold and less wind.
I used to struggle with snow! Icy roads driving to work.cold weather.getting snowed in NW Pennsylvania. Now I am retired in Mississippi loving everything, no struggles, living in the kingdom of heaven. They say it’s within, it was a little harder to get there in the north. Love you all, Happy to know you...
.
East Coast Massachusetts here. We get the winds, blizzards, hurricanes, tornados, snakes, roaches. We have a mix of temperatures. Fall and Winter are my favorite! Any Temps higher than 75, no thank you!
Jacobsburg Ohio. We have all 4 seasons here. One thing that I’m struggling with kind of is: we used to have an outdoor wood burner for many years. My husband works ALOT! So I was the main caretaker. I’ve never had to split the wood but storage and stacking. As well as maintaining the fire. A year ago we decided to go to an electric heat. Huge mistake because the heat from it is not as toasty! But the trade off of flipping a switch kind of makes up for it.
Really enjoy your videos, learnt a lot. I've watched a lot of shows on Alaska but really like watching how a real family lives. Re the weather, I've always preferred winter im miserable if its too hot.
Born and raised in Texas and currently living in Fort Worth. Texas can experience all seasons in one day sometimes. Wake up cold and by the afternoon you want to be in shorts.
