Alaskans throw out a lot of bold talk about the winter, saying they are having a great time. But in all honesty, how could anyone love the Alaskan winter? Honestly, it’s all just a bunch of lies. We like to say that it’s “beautiful” and “fun,” but everyone knows that even heartiest soul fails to thrive in the miserable existence that is the Alaskan winter. No one in their right mind would choose to come here between October and April.
If you are toying with the insane idea of visiting Alaska in winter, here are some reasons why that’s actually the worst idea ever:
For the most part, the landscape consists of forests that appear black and snow that gleams white. Only the sun makes any color at all, and it seems to ignore the state for months!
All the "amazing" wildlife just run in front of your when you're driving on icy roads, putting everyone in danger. Caribou and moose are notorious, but arctic fox, arctic hares, voles, ptarmigan, and all kinds of things run into the roads. Learn to drive, animals.
13. The aurora borealis is always out when it's super cold.
(In case you missed it, this is entirely sarcastic. We Alaskans know our state is actually AMAZING in winter and anyone who doesn’t think so is totally missing out!)
