Whats really strange, and still hits me even after 15 years here, is in June/July when you are out and about at 1am and the twilight is coming from the NORTH. Its just weird, sunlight shouldn't be coming from that direction.
Naa. The worst it gets in December here in Anch the sun is rising at 1030 and setting about 330(with a fair bit of morning twilight due to the chugach mountains). If you're inside and can't take the time to get outside during the day at all it can get a bit oppressive, but thats about it. Its going to be interesting come this winter to see how things are at my new job...its up near Fairbanks and a lot closer to the Arctic Circle.
