Life in Alaska: 60 Degrees Below and a Winter Ordeal
Captain Handy Smith, a Liancen in Alaska, describes life in 60 degrees below. The letter details a Fairbanks home at 12 Mile Richardson Highway with inch-thick window ice, snow covering roofs, frost on trees, and cars frozen solid. The narrative recalls cold-house heat, hurried car starts, battery troubles, ice fog, and neighbors aiding each other in the severe boreal winter.
