Alaska's climate varies immensely, from the cool and super-humid southeast to the brutally cold and dry Arctic Coast.Total precipitation over Alaska is typically around 3,000 millimetres (120 inches) in the southeast, around 300 to 400 millimetres (12 to 16 inches) in the Interior and West, and around 100 millimetres (4 inches) on the North Slope.In the high southeastern mountains, as much as 150 metres (5,905 inches) of snow may fall per year, which is equivalent to 11,000 millimetres of rain (though on Mount Logan it never gets warmer than -20˚C or -4˚F and is mostly around -40˚C or -40˚F).Actual rainfall (liquid precipitation) over Alaska varies from around 40 millimetres (1.5 inches) over the North Slope, to between 200 and 300 millimetres (8 to 12 inches) over the interior and West. In the warmer southern coast rainfall varies from around 12 inches over the rain shadow areas near Anchorage to around 3,000 millimetres at Yakutat and 3,800 millimetres at Ketchikan where it can be too mild for snow even in winter.
A rain gauge is a device used to measure the amount of rainfall that has fallen over a specific period of time. It typically consists of a cylindrical container that collects rainwater, and the amount of rainfall is then measured by checking the water level in the gauge.
According to NCDC, Homer averages 57.8" annually.
444.1 cm in the winter of 1970/1971, although we're getting close to breaking that this year, reports on exactly how much snow we've had in 2007/2008 are varied. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/wintersnowfall has this information consolidated on a nice page.
Greyhound does not run to Alaska. You will have to fly, drive, hitchhike or take the ferry from Seattle
it depends on the car
Anchorage is much closer to that longitude than Sydney is.
Depends on where in alaska you are. Average in Anchorage I would say is 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer but the lack of wind makes it feel like an 80 in a normal place with maybe 5-10 mph wind. It may get up to 90-98 degrees on a hot day in anchorage once a year. In fairbanks and interior Alaska howevee the temperature is much less moderate. In the summer it can get well over 100 but I'm not sure of an average. In the winter it will drop much further than anchorage as well. Anchorage bottoming at -30 and fairbanks still getting lower past -40.
It really depends where you are moving from. Moving to Anchorage from Fairbanks will certainly be cheaper then from New York City.
The highest tides in the United States can be found in Anchorage, Alaska. The tides in Anchorage can vary by as much as 40 feet between high and low tide due to its location and unique geography.
When I lived in Fairbanks we called it Los Anchorage because of it being so much warmer and milder than the northern regions of Alaska.
As of today (April 10, 2012) it is $4.22 to $4.38 depending on where you get it.
Rainfall depends on what part of Alaska you live in.
nothing
Regular unleaded was between 3.33 and 3.39 in Anchorage on 21 March 2010.
There are many dangers in Alaska, but mostly outside the population centers. Anchorage is considerably less dangerous than much of Southern California. However there are many sightings of moose in downtown Anchorage, and bears and wolves live all over the state.
