I went to Fairbanks, Alaska, in the heart of winter, and lived to tell the tale. You can beat the scary Alaska cold by simply being prepared with this winter packing list<\/strong>. It\u2019s not quite as dramatic as I made it out to be, but the fact is, most people are scared of Alaska in the winter. Especially the Alaska interior, where the temperatures dip below 0 degrees most nights, and you have to plug in your car (Yup, that\u2019s really a thing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my ten days in Fairbanks, the coldest it dropped to was -25 F, and that happened to be one of the nights when we were out Aurora chasing<\/a> \u2013 brrrrr. During our time in the interior, we also had about 20 inches of snow in total! So, we really had to be prepared for anything!<\/p>\n\n\n
