"It's a little bit chilly right now its 39 below" say what???👀👀🤣🤣🤣..i live in south Florida where Its freezing out when it falls below 70 out🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol!!!
When going to get groceries is like planning for the apocalypse.
This kind of video is literally how I found your channel. I searched for “life in Alaska” and found you guys! I’m so fascinated by the unique extremes you have to live with. So please keep making this kind of content! On the subject of homeschooling, I’d love to know more about your schooling. I’m a kindergarten teacher and I love to learn about alternative education methods. I hope you share!
I found it by shopping in Alaska..
Another good vlog to follow that provides insight on living in Alaska is Life Goes North.
There is nothing appealing about living in -40 weather. But you guys make it look fun! 😂
In Minot, there no trees to block the wind so it can get to 40 below with a windchill factor making it 60 or 70 below. On those days it's illegal to go outside or to work because the cops don't want to gather humansicles.
True true. In ND, it gets dangerously cold. And no, it isn't illegal to go outside at those temps, the news just states that traveling is not recommended and you just get turned around by a cop and told to go back home and be safe. But yes there are days whole interstates and roads are closed down for sometimes even 2 days at a time.
@@shyanmarie4405 I'm sorry, I was referring to Minot AFB, back in the late 80s. We'd wake up, turn to channel 9 I think it was, green, go to work, yellow, call your chief, see if you absolutely need to work, red, you do not leave your house under any circumstances. Military are real sticklers to rules. I wasn't aware it didn't apply to civilians as well. Thank you for the correction.
Coldest weather experienced was when I took a second job "up the hill in Victorville Ca." car thermometer read 18 one morning. You may live in a cold environment but your family has the warmest hearts and you guys rock.
Elizabeth Warren I live in CT. It was 16 degrees the other day and its colder than that!
I live in Victorville 🤗
Elizabeth Warren we’re in Phelan, coldest is 24 for me haha can’t imagine any colder.. but yes, up the hill is tough on cars lol
Coldest I've been is about -50 in North Dakota.
Cali girl who lived in Kansas I don't do cold...lol
I’m interested in your home school routines, and teaching materials
Gosh, I miss my mother so, much it hurts bad! I was very close to her. Miss having fun with her! A mother is a treasure for sure! They are to be respected & loved!! It’s heartbreaking how some are treated. My mother was my best friend! I hate that cancer stole the living life out of her. Miss her...show your sweet momma in more videos. You’re lucky you still have her living in your life.
You have a wonderful mom. What a blessing she must be to you and the family.
I love the way that your children are so eager to help their Dad out with the wood.
maybe do a series called something like jessica's home school showing how to, school routines, materials, lessons ect it would help out others just getting started or thinking of home schooling there kids
As someone looking to anchorage, your insight in what life is like(especially grocery prices and such) are an amazing firsthand resource! You guys are amazing, and I truly enjoy your videos! God bless!
Good gravy, I thought 30 in SoCal was cold. Can’t even imagine... Then again, our desert summers are often 115. Praise God for A/C! 👍
Omg I'm in SoCal and I'm dying with our heat I want to move to alaska so bad. In the winter i sleep with every window open and let the house get down to high 40s low 50s and I'm still hot 😂😂
Love the sound snow makes when you walk on it
Colombia and Carhartt - Highly recommended for harsh winter weather. I lived in North Dakota for all of my life and I swear by the Carhartt and Colombia coat combo that it will keep you so toasty warm even when the temperatures hit -32°.
I truly love your family. I have never watched a vlog with out smiling. Thank you for always making my day happier when you post. A bit of a perfectionist... I have one of those. Many advantages to that but many struggles as well.
I can’t imagine how cold it is there. Thanks for vlogs that leave me feeling happy x
I'm so glad I watched this video. I'm in Chicago and we are experiencing windchill close to -50s which is rare around here. Burr it's cold. love the channel
Talking about the big bulky jacket....I immediately thought of the little brother in Christmas Story who couldn't put his arms down after his mom put him in his "suit"....LOL
Lol
"Put your arms down when you get to school!" 😂😂😂😂
Favorite family vloggers!!! Earls family had been my favs for years, but OMG I seriously love you guys and now you are and dont see that changing soon! watching you makes me so happy!!! And absolutely love your North Pole beautiful life. Love your kids and the awesome job you two do as parents and teaching them about God. Seriously, thank you for sharing and bringing smiles to our days!!!
This is our first winter here in Alaska and these were some helpful tips! Thank you!!!
I love watching your little family :) I watch you in the morning while I get ready for work. Today I’m watching before I head into take my board exams!! Please say a prayer for me :)
Awesome vlog! I found your channel searching for life in Interior Alaska and not only do you provide great Interior Alaska info we also just love your wonderful family! I get to Fairbanks at least once a year but wish it was more. I find such peace in the Interior. Alaska is so majestic! We would live to see your children's curriculum on this channel. Have a blessed week! Hi kiddos!
This was such an interesting vlog! I live in Iowa and our winters get pretty chilly, but nothing compared to the extremes you experience in Alaska! So cool to see your beautiful environment.
My daughter and I love watching, be safe and stay warm🥰
I did that one year here in Indiana-throwing water into the air. This year we have had very very mild temps - 40s and 50s! This morning I had the doors open - tonite we are going into the 30s for about a week. We have been so lucky this year - very minimal snow that melts the next day.
I’m getting cold just watching this 😂
The packing information is really useful even for an old lady in Ontario Canada! Thanks 🙏🏻
Love ur vlogs so interesting getting an insight into your lives in Alaska!! Beautiful family take care and stay warm 💖
I think you are one amazing family! Really enjoy being able to see North Pole life! Thanks!
Oh my goodness, when you said a guy pain level 9 = 2 Woman level, I went into a fit of giggles!! It's so true!
Lol! It IS so true. And yes, Bert, Jessica IS right!! Watch out for the man flu! 🤣
Man flu, man allergies, man toe stub.......etc.......lol 😉
Seriously so true.
HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA. NO ITS NOT. EVERYBODY HANDLES PAIN DIFFERENTLY
I view it as things men say to make their wives feel better. Like telling children they are smart...in reality they are children.
All your "kiddos" are adorable but that Garret never fails to put a smile on my face.
Somers Family, you all have such warm hearts! I really enjoy watching your vlogs and appreciate the time it takes you. Bert, I pray that you knew gets better and is pain free very soon! Jessica, I love the top you're wearing. Do you mind sharing where you got it from?
Thanks for showing what gear you have for your family! We are adding on slowly but surely to have more appropriate gear for Alaskan winters :)
When I first started driving..my Dad put kitty litter..a tin can..with candles..waterproof matches..extra socks..gloves..and a blanket..in the trunk of my car. This was before cellphones..he also put a CB radio in my car..the purpose of the can..candles and matches..was to put a small amount amount of heat in the car.
Praying your leg heals quickly. Love you guys!! Definitely would love to see your homeschool curriculum 😊Stay warm!!
Your videos are nice and loud. Perfect for watching on our phones. I like that!
Hello from Anchorage! I just found you guys and am loving every bit! Lol God bless and stay warm!
Good kids helping dad with the wood. I'm scared of driving in the snow. I live in Michigan now but I'm from sunny Texas.
Much Love Somers fam!! Hope you all staying warm!! Ohio had a warm snap, 50's the other day then BOOM dropped to 20's in a matter of hours. Bert praying for a speedy recovery! Much Love from an Ohio Happy Person! 😂🤣😘💗🙏🗽🙏
Thank you guy's sharing life in Alaska! It's so different from the world I know here in Asheville, NC. Love to hear the snow crunching under your feet!!!
The circuit breaker popped on our outdoor plug once when the temp was at least 20 below. Hubby was stationed at Eilson and didn't make it in that day! Had to rent a bullet heater to thaw out the truck's engine! Good times in Alaska! Tons of great memories.
We know the feeling!!
I live in [true] upstate NY, about an hour to the Canadian border, and we have hit -40 many times. I am always asking myself why I live where the air hurts my skin?! 😂 Stay warm!
besides extra clothes and blankets i also keep some food and drinks and heat packs and them caned candle things that you can put a pan over to heat up food and water, and flashlights and extra batteries, and of course a bucket with lid and toliet paper in my extreme weather supplies for when i go out just incase stranded for hours or even a few days you never know
Did subscribe! I’m watching this video and can’t comprehend what it’s like with that extreme cold. And then you said you and the kids were going to get wood! WHAT? You’re not taking them out in the woods! Glad they stayed in garage. Loved the education though about the cold.
I live in Minnesota and we do much the same with the survival gear. Remote starters are awesome! We've actually had a strange, mild winter so far. Quite cold though last few days, thankfully, not minus 34. Love the throwing hot water...our weather people like to do that. Stay warm and hope Bert's knee feels better soon.
Sending prayers and warm thoughts your way. Hope your healing well Bert. Love this video.
Been watching your vlogs for awhile. My kids enjoy them as well. My 11 year old loves meteorology and loves seeing the differences from where we live in Missouri. We have gotten down to -25 before here.
Watching because in 2 days its gonna get to -45 in chicago/northwest indiana. Yay.. lol. As of the last couple days it's confirmed colder here then Alaska. It's been crazy. A few people were found frozen to death in downtown chicago :( so horribly sad. We are used to it being cold but not usually this cold for this many days. But we're all preparing. They told us to keep the farthest faucet from the water heater trickling all night when its gonna be -50° F. Love these videos:)
I’m glad Bert is doing better. I’d love to see the new homeschool curriculum. I’m already trying to plan for next year.
I’m definitely interested in how you homeschool and your curriculum! Love y’all so much!
Yes, please show us your curriculum. Talk about your homeschool. I am a homeschooling mother too and it’s so fun to hear other people’s choices and ideas.
As a meteorologist, I’m obviously fascinated by life in these extreme temps! Love your videos!
Back when I was young, around 1978 and living in Anchorage I remember seeing temps around -45. We had a massive storm roll through with high winds, which glazed over everything. Best fun ever sliding over the ice on my way to school.
You guys are so amazing and positive. I always look forward to your videos. I always wanted to live in Alaska. My health is poor and will be 60 on the 16th...so it is not an option. I watch everything Alaska on tv n RUclips.... Much love from Philadelphia! God Bless!😍❄🌌🙏
Lordy! I would never leave the house! Just watching you made me shiver! 😬
Up until recently, the temperature her in Florida now and it 80° and I had my AC on!
I have the utmost respect for people who live in Alaska and other extremely cold climates!
I am not sure how well I could survive -40 F.!?!? It is wonderful to see all of the beautiful snow! The kids are so amazing at wanting to help Bert with cutting the fire wood. Today in Northwest Ohio it got up to 50+ F.
Hey guys we checked out the other family you recommended and know of your family! They have watched your channel! And they were so sweet they even thanked me visiting the channel!
How do your videos not have more views? Don’t stop! Your channel will get bug! It’s so interesting seeing how you live! I’m in Southern California so it’s a world of a difference!
Yes please! I’d love to see more in depth about your curriculum and how you guys homeschool!
Now I feel like I need to add a bunch of things to my vehicle now once I get it back from the shop, sadly it couldn’t handle the temps here in Fairbanks. Thanks for the tips I will definitely be using them.
I came across your channel right after Christmas from another blogging family that you sent a Christmas gift to and I cant get enuff of both of you and your family. I live in Canada so it gets cold here but not as cold as you. Love seeing what life is like out there.
My god. Sit it feel so warm to you to day. Town was -11 then -8. It was a blessing for sure.
I can’t believe you went outside after getting out of the shower Jessica, I would have had icicles hanging off my head, I was shivering 🥶 looking at you. I just can’t over the way your Children help Bert with the wood for the fireplace, they are so amazing, and all cute as a button! I have never tried scrambled eggs with cream cheese but seeing how Evelynn was enjoying them I may have to give them a try! Enjoy your evening and try to stay warm! ❤️
Yes, please show the homeschool curriculum and routine! This video made me cold just watching🌬. It was 75 here today, and I went to work in capris and flip flops!
Very informative, love it. Keep safe and warm!!! Send some of that cold, here to PA please!!!! I want winter!!!😉
The coldest weather I have ever been in was the winter in 1978 in Cincinnati Ohio when it got down to -25 below zero for 2 days along with 3 feet of snow on the ground...in Florida where I live now, one year it got down to 10 degrees one day.....thank God for heaters...I know I couldn't survive the winters in Alaska but I would love to visit Alaska someday...it is what I would like to do in the future....I love your vlogs...keep 'em coming.....
I love it that your kiddos helped with the wood.
Love watching your famile work together as one team lots of love from the netherlands
I live in a part of Canada where it can easily get to -40 in the winter. You do get used to it BUT man is it a shock when it first happens. Your tips for travelling in the car are spot on. Cars and those temps do not mix so your right, always good to have extras when driving around just in case.
My kids and I watched the video this morning from sunny Florida! It’s 45 degrees ABOVE zero here and my homeschooled kids are bundled up and playing outside 😂 Yup, we’re wimps!
Love your videos!
You have a well coordinated family. You seem to have everything in hand.
We lived in Iowa for a couple of years, and we had those super-cold temps at times, but not all the time! I used to go to work early (4:30 am) and there were several times it was -35 at that time of the morning! It takes your breath away when you step outside!!!
I never thought of not touching the doorknob with a bare hand. I know not to lick a pole like that kid in that Christmas movie. But I guess I never really thought about because it's so cold, it can and will burn your bare skin. I love this information on living in Alaska. ❤️ Thank you for sharing yall!
Homeschool mama here too 🙋🏻♀️ and I would LOVE to see your homeschool curriculum! (On your channel here, not another one) I feel like this channel is all about your life, and homeschooling is part of that, so it’s natural to include homeschool adventures here as well too! I’m always so curious to see various curriculums and how they work for different kiddos.
In South Central Pennsylvania, we hardly have a fall or spring, it is either cold or hot n humid. Love to have -40 degree weather with lots of snow!
Hey Happy Family! I Love Your blogs! I Love the state of Alaska! Good for You at Homeschooling! Praying for Your leg to get better!
How much is your monthly heating energy bills with temperatures that extreme? I'm sure houses are built more air tight?
We lived there in North Pole from 2001-2004...love your videos! My kids went to public school and the bus came at a specific time so you didn't freeze out there. Our coldest was Dec. 20th 2001...-58°.
Yes a Jessica channel! where you share homeschool stuff and anything else you want. Lol. But don’t burn yourself out either. Also those cold temperatures are insane, I lived in Pennsylvania for most of my live but I live in Georgia now and it was 65 today 🤷♀️
I would love to see your curriculum! I am really thinking of homeschooling my boys. And I just want to say that I just absolutely love your family and your RUclips channel!
Gosh just hearing that snow crunch, we feel this in Calgary every year!
Your family is so precious!!! I watched the pool video and even in the face of disappointment the kids were so wonderful. Thats because they have such great parents of which one uses crunches lol
Your home is so comfy and the view from the Windows are awesome, I would never want go outside. Just beautiful outside! Now Dave, watch for blood clots from an injury like that. Could come on later. Praying that never happens though. You guys have got that weather down pack. No worries here. Oh, did I say I love those kids?!
Wow very interesting! I'm freezing at 60. I would never make it.
Lol same for me. Im Floridian and I can't handle the cold at ALLLLL 😂
Same here...born and raised in texas
Me too Cali girl who has lived in the cold now Vegas I don't do cold.
I moved to Alaska with the military, I’m from California and hate the cold, but you get used to it! It’s currently -4 and it feels really warm to me now
Absolutely love your channel and family. 39 below. Brrrr that’s a tad cold 🥶👍🏼❤️ stay warm!
The coldest temperature I’ve experienced is -45, it’s brutal! I live in Northern Ontario, Canada. I feel like I could do well living in Alaska, I don’t super hate the cold!
I just love your family, stay way, cuddle up and be safe.
Wow! That’s unbelievably cold! Thanks for sharing some tips. My kids and I were just talking about how we can be more prepared in our car in the cold here in Utah.
You are brave I live in NYC, and when it is 10, I feel like freezing. Hope your husband feels better
Coldest I have experienced is -42 Celsius with a -48 Celsius windchill value (Canada) and, I do not have a vehicle - I walk and take the city bus. When it is in the -30 Celsius range though before windchill value I plan carefully so I do not have to walk much or wait long for a bus. Additionally to stay safe in these temps I pack extra socks, hand warmers, and wear layers.
Cool - literally lol. I’m originally from PA but never been in weather that cold. We used to go to Potter County PA in the winter a lot. Used to pack extra warm clothes and blankets/sleeping bag, bagged salt and cat litter. In central Florida now - 79 degrees and sunny today! You all should come to Disney World and Legoland!
I got off work yesterday and the thermometer in my car said it was 91 degrees! Florida is crazy lol
Eugene Trotter LoL yep! Been nice tho - I’ve had the windows open the last couple of days!
Jan Brady wow! We had a family friend who had a cabin in Potter. Anyone was welcome to stay there. I loved it! No television- had an old wood burning kitchen stove. Very rustic. I liked the winters there but I think my favorite time of year to stay there was the fall because the colors were gorgeous!
I love watching your videos!! I'm in Philadelphia and it's only 34 degrees..I don't know how you guys do it I'll be freezing lol!!
Lillian Darroyo I’m originally from the suburbs of Philly! In Central Florida now. GO EAGLES 🦅 !
New comer here. . Live in FL beautiful weather here in the high 50's. Seen your vids wife n I enjoy it. We will be moving their in 3 more yrs. Been planning since 2 yrs. We are excited
I grew up in the foothills of a North Carolina and occasionally the windshield would make it five or 10 below I think maybe even 15 but that was not the air temperature. I don’t get cold easy but I don’t think I could hang with your level of cold God bless that Alaskan toughness
Hello Somers Family♥
Yes!!! School Curriculum would be interesting. Stay safe out there.🌬
Hello!
I think you video just saved half of the Midwest. I live in nc and have been wanting snow but am so thankful our temps aren’t in the negative digits like the north and ak
Your
I have huge respect for people that can handle living in cold like that. I start to get cold in the low 70s. Good thing I live in Phoenix lol ☺️
I can't imagine the cold.. when it gets in the 50's here where I live it seem really cold!!
-65 below wind chill in Minnesota Tuesday-Thursday. -20-30 regular temp. Gotta love Minnesota!! 😀😀
