Fairbanks is a great place. Some things that i miss the most when i am away are:1. The Midnight Sun and the Noontime moon. Isn't it funny when people try to tell you that the position of the sun is dependent on the time of day, not time of year?
2. Knowing how warm it is by the amount of daylight. i'm just saying. it being warm and dark out at the same time is completely unnatural.
3. No Sales Tax. I don't know how lower 48ers do it. Items should be marked with how much you will end up paying. i always seem to have Exactly how much something costs, and when you suddenly add whatever percentage taxes are, it certainly messes me up.
4. The Outdoors. lots of trees and wildlife. if i look out my window and see a moose looking back, then everything is as it should be.
5. The Snow. i know it sounds crazy, but trust me. it just isn't winter until you've had a week of 50 below weather and enough snow that you can walk onto your roof from the ground.
