Despite all the weather stats and probabilities and things, one thing for sure - if you're not there, you won't see it.

Fantastic! When you are in Fairbanks make sure you go shopping at Fred Myers... WOW that store is great and very very cheap. You can perchase anyuthing at that store from a bag of chips to a fully auto rifle?? My wife and I spend 4 hours in the store and purchased up big.. No I did not purchase a rifle, but did get a pretty neat slingshot

Enjoy
