As a teenager and young adult I used to love the snow and nature and it was my dream to live in Alaska but now that I am older , I hate the cold weather and snow even though still love the nature but wouldn't want to live in Alaska in a million years . I live in Midwest and it's too late to relocate but don't want to go anymore further north .

Growing up in the Poconos in Pa, I've been through some brutal winters , massive snowfalls and climbing out of second story windows to shovel snow. That was in the 60s. Now retired in Florida, I wouldn't trade my swimming pool, my outdoor cooking area and tiki bar or any of my boats for that nasty weather ever again. It is hauntingly beautiful and quiet after a massive snowstorm though. Enjoy your youth, it doesn't last forever.

We had a freak Blizzard hit the San Bernardino mountains last winter where over a dozen people lost their lives. There hadn't been a storm this bad in over 40 years. I think we got 12-14 feet of snow fall in 5 days and the second storm hit and dropped another 4-6 feet. My cabin has a steep metal roof, but as the snow melted and slid off it ripped off the smokestack for my chimney. The supports for the deck were bowed from the weight, even though we tried shoveling, couldn't keep up it was relentless. I was out with my truck digging out elderly and disabled people with a team of volunteers for weeks afterward. I feel your pain. That storm gave people PTSD. You should've seen the UHauls in the spring with all the people that fled this small mountain community

Wouldn't a steep metal roof on your cabin been a better solution for handling deep heavy snow? Most would just slide off and you'd only have to plow the ground. In Michigan during a heavy snow we went out every couple hours to clear snow so there wasn't that much to do all at once. A back and heart saver.

Amazing over night like that. We had a storm in 1978 probably before you were born, snowed like 60” overnight. 4.5 days our roads were snowed shut. No power luckily we had a fireplace kept the house warm. Melted snow for water. It was fun as a kid I was like 11 at the time. Northern Michigan. Never had one that bad since. Have had 30” overnight since but nothing even close.

Hey Timmy since you have natural gas you should look into a gas stove (looks like a nice wood stove-glass door, fake logs, nice flame)that operates on millivolt system (creates its own electricity). It has a plug in blower for better heat distribution when power is on but stove works without electricity. I have been using one at cottage in Mont Tremblant Quebec for 25 years where power goes out regularly. We have generator but with this you can heat without noise and cost of running it. You should check them out, name of stove is Napoleon made in Barrie Ontario Canada. Great video, thanks.

And yet 2 years ago (I think?), there were 2-3ft snow drifts in saskatoon and despite living a block away from the school, I couldn't get her there bc the snow was almost taller than she is, and nobody had shovelled or plowed or anything. It was crazy. But kinda fun in the way you can only laugh about afterwards - I fell into one of the drifts and it took 3 other ppl to get me back up and out again. 😅 Just turned around and went home again, bc it was just not possible that day. The school was very understanding tho. (I have mobility issues as it is, but I had no choice; either I do it, or it doesn't get done. Her dad takes her now bc her school where we live now is way too far, and they don't do school buses in our part of Northern Ireland.)

Seems odd to build a house with a flat roof in a location that gets several feet of snow a year. Did you build this from ground up or did you buy it partially finished?

Yes he was talking about a roof top deck he's also got roof warming wires running all over the roof with drainage to melt snow off the flat rubber roof and yes he built this from the ground up himself

I know you guys are very knowledgeable about building seasons etc etc but I was thinking , do you think having a generator or several of them to keep you warm for a short period of time?? And building a house in a place where. Inter is real winter i think I would have my walls extra thick … and why not have a way to recycle the heat that would be used to heat the house instead of loosing it making it go in the garage…

​@@angiekrajewski6419 generator for warming? Wut? Having a garage is actually energy efficient since the heat doesn't go to waste. Some sort of a forced ventilation energy reuse air pump is possible but quite a big investment that requires electricity. What he should have done is a proper Nordic style fireplace. These useless American wood stoves are a joke. You just feed and feed it wood, no mass to keep the place warm

Lived in Alaska 20 years, Wasilla and Anchorage. Although I live in N Colorado now and we get this once in a great while (3’ at a time ) I don’t miss the Alaska life…but do miss the awesome fishing and sledding (snowmchine)up Hatchers Pass

Damn, that's brutal weather. I get a chuckle out of your "cabin". I've been a home builder my entire career, and calling that a cabin is like calling a Hellcat a car. I live in Canada, and while we do occasionally experience weather like this, it's not usual. Living in Alaska is likely worth the weather.

No, it blows my mind to not have a wood stove. We converted our fireplace back to wood because having a gas fireplace requires relying on the grid.

To the viewers from the lower 48, this was just the beginning. Girdwood typically has more snow than Anchorage, the first two weeks of November was a record breaking snow fall with 41 inches in Nov. As of today we are at 60 inches which a season record as of 12/15 and 9 inches in the forecast.
