Stay safe I can't even imagine dealing with that cold I am such a wimp. Do you have a wood burning stove?

A wood burning stove is my first priority come summer time and will become my primary heat souce.

Don't know what supplies you have access to - but there are little solar wings/panels that are designed to hook up to your battery and trickle into it. Don't know if that would help.

The panels work even if there's no direct sunshine.

Mind you - you're in the land of the midnight sun right now...

Its not a battery issue, it turns over and is firing but not catching. Im hopping my neighbor will be home tommorow so I can borrow a big space heater.

wasilla dosen't seem that far from anchorage (by map anyway) but seems to be much colder!

alaska is an amazing place it seems

Weather wise, comparing Wasilla to Anchorage is like comparing Kenosha to Madison.

Anchorage has had some record low temps in the last week.

Temps can vary by 10 or more degrees in less then a mile anywhere.

ah, i get cha. hard to get the scope of how large the state really is since it's not attached to the contiguous states. hopefully the weather will be cooperating when my daughter flys over there on tuesday

she said that she heard that you have dry cold which i translates as bad snowman snow
