Tips for travellers from Fairbanks to California in Winter:
1) Bring sunglasses! The sun is strong, and yellow, not orange. It also rises above the horizon, instead of lazily sliding along the edge. You may find it surprising and unsettling, if you haven't seen the sun yellow since September.
2) Be careful when driving. Cars respond differently here. You do not need a quarter of a mile braking distance when you are going at 25 mph. It's quite novel.
3) Feel free to walk as quickly as you like! The ground provides sufficient friction!
4) Be careful when driving. Drivers are quite self-absorbed and will not let you merge. They also drive like bats out of hell. They will have no patience for you if you drive your normal speed.
By the way, that storm the other night turned out to be freakin' awesome! I went outside the next morning to let Autumn out to pee, and we had nearly a foot of new snow! We both stepped outside and fell into powder! *PFOOF* :D
