What James and Millie don't appear to realize is that distance from the moderating effects of an ocean makes a huge difference. Minnesota, att 1300 miles from any ocean, is far colder in the winter, and considerably warmer in the summer than somewhere like Seattle Washington, which is a similar latitude. In the British Isles they are never more than about 100 miles, if that, from an ocean.
Truth! South MN went from the -10s in winter to the low 100s every the summer (at least for a week or so).
Near the Twin Cities in MN, easily having lows in the -10F tonight here
Minnesotan here, can't agree more. Harsh winters, humid summers, tornados, hail, wind...
As a Minnesota resident I say we only 2 seasons winter and road construction .
@@patrickkowarsch1944 todays high was 9. The other day was 35 and that was nice
I'm from Alaska and I think anyone that has been to Alaska will agree with me that you'll definitely be missing out if you don't go. If you're prepared for the weather, it's not uncomfortable. Trust me. We're all human. You'll survive.
100% agree
I agree too. From Texas. And my wife and my favorite vacation was a two week trip to Seward, AK. We would love to move up there. So beautiful.
I grew up in Fairbanks and the weather there is amazing. -60°f occasionally in the winter and 90°f in the summer occasionally . The last summer we were there my dad and i were fishing at Quartz Lake and when we got back to Fairbanks it felt much cooler and it was 94°f 😎.
I too grew up in Fairbanks. It did have ridiculously cold winters and hot (to me) summers. That said, I recall one Dec in early 1980s when on a trip to Barrow with my high school basketball team. During some downtime, several of us decided to trek to a nearby store to get snacks. Temp was something like -40F which was not unusual to us. However the Arctic Ocean wind was blowing 60mph so wind chill was -95F… too cold even for us tough guys from Fairbanks. The funny part: we walked by some little Eskimo kids who were playing outside like it was nothing.
@@tomk4484 that reminds me off the windchill chart on our snowmachine . Time we get home from some riding on the river loaded with snotcicles on our ski masks the good ole days . I live down in washington and it gets down to 30 people are dressed like they are going to the damn north pole lol .
Fairbanks Alaska I have seen temperature the range from -70 F winter to 100 degrees f in the summer.
In Northern Alaska you get months without the sun and months without darkness
I imagine that can really screw with your sleep schedule and circadian rhythm
Yep I have lived in Northern Alaska for most of my life. Its so nice.
@@DONUT2858 I live in Texas so I don't know personally but northern latitudes are kinda infamous for having a lot of seasonal depression in the winter too due to it being super remote and the lack of sunlight for months on end.
Wyoming is an incredible state to visit! I would definitely recommend it. The summer is pretty hot and dry but in the areas tourists tend to visit it is not so hot. Wyoming is basically a high altitude desert and there are also a lot of mountains. I guess what you have to understand about the US climate is that the interior has a lot of temperature variation in the cold states, even Alaska it is pretty decent in the summer, probably about the same temperature as the UK. The northern U.S just get's really cold in winter because most ocean warmth is blocked off by the rocky mountains.
The best part about a Minnesota winter.... no mosquitoes (or any other bugs) for at least 5 months.
That's a plus, provided you don't freeze to deat
And no wood ticks.
@@MrJlee93 Ah, that’s why we have lots of outdoor activities, Winter Carnival, Ice Fishing, hockey, Skiing, sledding, etc., I miss hiking through the woods.
I thought the Mosquito was the Minnesota State Bird. 😃
@@marktoldgardengnome4110 it is, but they need stagnant water to breed not frozen.
If anyone is considering moving to any of the Northern States, having grown up in Northern Ohio on Lake Erie, the best advice I can offer is to move there at the beginning of Spring. That way you get to see some of the cold and the rest of the seasons before winter rolls around.
Hell yea I live about 40 miles north of Pittsburg. Every summer Erie is on my radar for vacation
I would agree I live in western NY by the great lakes and we get lake effect snow it's absolutely brutal sometimes but without it it wouldn't feel like home to me.
I agree man, I live 15 miles northeast of Erie right on the border of PA/NY it can be harsh in the winter here dealing with all the lake effect snow.
@@coreyf91 I grew up just North of Chardon Ohio (the heart of the Snow Belt.) I grew up close enough to the lake that a mile or two, depending on time of year and if it froze over, can be the difference between 2" and 10" in the same time period. When close enough to the lake it keeps you warm during fall and cold in the spring. I wish I was exaggerating with those numbers, but I'm not.
@@Damons-Old-Soul yeah just a few years ago we had a Christmas Eve storm that dropped 4ft in under 18 hours it was brutal
So knowing how seasons work in the US is key to planning your trip. In these northern/"cold" states, they all still have summer. Basically, June, July and August are going to be the warmest weather for each of these states. And even places like Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Dakotas (Wyoming for your purposes) and yes even Alaska, are pretty nice during their summer months. For example, Wyoming averages right around 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit during the day for those 3 months I listed above. Mid-50's to low 60's at night. So you'd actually be quite *warm* most of the time if you were wearing anything more than a T-shirt during the day. Maybe a light jacket or sweatshirt at night.
The only difference between these states and a lot of the remaining states that are "less cold" is that these states usually have cold weather that starts way earlier and lasts longer than most other places. It's nothing to see 8, 10, 12 inches of snow in some of these states in September, meanwhile most of the rest of the country is just barely into "autumn". And it's also not uncommon that these states are still getting big snowfalls in April or May while everywhere else is in the middle of spring.
www.weather-us.com/en/wyoming-usa-climate
Also, Ohio can be cold, but it's not the cold or heat it's known for. It's the variety. There are weeks, and even days, where you can experience all 4 seasons in the span of about 12-18 hours 🤣🤣
It was 60F Monday and 32F (freezing point) two days later (today) here in the northwest corner of Ohio. Hot and humid in the summer months, pleasant in spring and fall, and mildly annoying and cold in winter. Usually not a lot of snow unless you're on the eastern shore of Lake Erie.
I'm from N.E. Ohio and we just had these things called frost quakes. It went from 55F to 25F overnight and all the melted snow and rain went down in the soil refroze and then expanded causing loud shaking booms. I've never seen that before and I've lived in Ohio most of my life. I've seen Thundersnow here once though so Ohio does get some strange weather.
@@aaronvolk1341 Yikes!
Ohio sounds like new Zealand!
Yeah, you are wrong. We lived in Montana. Friends went camping for the 4th of July. 6 inches of snow fell. We learned that, if camping you bring 3 seasons worth of clothing
Here in the Pacific Northwest, we refer to 22C (~72F) as "Goldilocks weather"... not too hot and not too cold.
Another factor that has to be accounted for besides northerly latitudes, is elevation.
Elevation has to be taken into consideration as a factor in temperature and weather in much of the US.
PNW for life.
I live in western Washington and enjoy those wet and warmish winters as well. The clouds have an insulating effect
which keeps us warm in the winter, but what I find even more amazing is how different the weather is in the eastern half of the state. Hot in the summer, cold and snowy in the winter and very little rain. This is because of the mountain range that divides the state.
I'm from the Northern US, and I can handle the cold. When you grow up in it, you adapt and it becomes part of your daily fall/winter life. HOWEVER, do NOT count out an Alaskan cruise for a vacation simply because it is cold. Seasonal times, and of course heated rooms and pools on a cruise ship still make for an amazing vacation. Nature is still plentiful from the deck with whales, bears, birds etc as well as docking to native villiages to learn about the traditions and history of native Alaskans. Yall would love it.
Cruise ships are one of the biggest polluters out there, sooo yeah I’d avoid a cruise...who the hell wants to vacation on a boat anyways I’ll never understand
@@dacrosber Lots & Lots of people. Haven't you seen the hundreds of articles about cruising with covid?? People couldn't wait to get cruise ships back on their normal routes!!
@@dacrosber Where would you rather vacation to?
@Ragnar Odinsson I'd love to see the outcome if you choose to do so. What do you think would happen my friend?
@@Cubs-Fan.10 literally anywhere on the planet that is unique or interesting lmao….y’all are just visiting water and the middle of the ocean, just think about it…..All while being a huge contributor to ocean pollution!!! Awesome!!! Gooooo cruise ships!!!!
I was born in Montana and I remember my dad having to dig 4’ of snow away from our door so we could get out. He also had to shovel snow off our roof and deck so they wouldn’t collapse from the weight.
Canada here, love your video. I live in the coldest city ( on average ) in all of Canada! It’s Winnipeg, Manitoba. Our winter average is -30C, but we can easily drop into the minus 40’s even without windchill. However our summers range in the high twenties, thirties and our highest temperature recorded was 42.2! So we get a nice variety lol.
He speaks the truth about Wisconsin. I've lived here 6 years. I lived mostly in the deep south before that. It's not the cold that bothers me. It's the months of gray skies and the snow. Virginia is beautiful with lots of history. West Virginia has some stunning places to see as well. Come in the fall for some beautiful colors and lots of fall festivities! Skyline Drive is gorgeous in the fall.
People wonder why Wisconsin is the leading state in alcohol consumption per capita. Look no further than our winters and our heritage lol.
The frozen tundra has its own charm. When it gets cold enough there's clear skies, too cold for cloud vapor. It's pretty nice for single digits
@@chrishirthe4162 but we're happy drunks. Keeps the warm glow going.
Winter is horrible here in Wisconsin and summer can be hit and humid like Florida but it’s just something you deal with
Living in Duluth, MN for 64 years I can assure you a person must love the winter months and the cold. I've seen 4 feet of snow dumped, in two days, as early as Halloween and snow piles as late as the beginning of July. The temperatures routinely reach 86F (30C) in the summer and -40F (-40C) in the winter.
Yes, if you dress for the cold winter is great there's lots to do. Minnesota is known as the Land of 10,000 Lakes and when those lakes freeze they become a barren wasteland that allows the wind to produce -80F wind chill that make it seem like your eyeballs are freezing even with your back to the wind.
I almost forgot the winter can get real long and the sun seems to set right after it rises, at least where I live.
Steve is absolutely correct. I am from Minnesota and temperature extremes are much more drastic with temperatures ranging from -45 F in the winter to 95 F in the summer. And? What's an ocean? From our state it's a 2 - 3 day continual drive. James and Millie do not appear to understand what real cold weather is (on a daily basis for up to five months). They do now understand our long drives I believe. I cannot imagine only driving 100 miles and to them it's a long trip. My daily 'back-and-forth' work commute (through Minneapolis traffic) is 115 miles. Keep up the great work, James and Millie! Enjoy watching your videos.
At times, it can drop even colder than -45. I will give that it was the polar vortex, but it was -60 one time, without windchill.
I live in Anchorage AK, and the summer here is amazing. Temperature can get up to high 80’s at times, lows down in the 50’s, 60’s. Very dry, so very easy to stay completely comfortable. You absolutely should visit, but you may never want to leave. I visited, and then promptly move here.
Kind of surprised at Alaska's average. I remember living there when I was about 5 years old, and I do remember the summers being fairly warm - perhaps in the 60s or 70s fahrenheit. But the winters were brutal. I remember someone telling me that if you died in the winter there, they literally had to put you on ice until summer, simply no way to bury you.
😶
I suspect a lot of Alaskas low average comes from the fact that it’s such a huge state and much of it is up in the uninhabited arctic and subarctic wilderness. Most of the more inhabited areas are down near the ocean and likely have a much more moderate average than the state as a whole.
When I lived in Maine, I was shocked at first when I heard that they didn’t bury deceased people during the winter. It made perfect sense when I was told that they had to wait for the ground to thaw out.
@@AdamNisbett Even the southern parts of Alaska get really cold in the winter. It is because of the Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean. All of the winter storms that eventually make their way down to the Pacific Northwest are born there. Alaska does get really hot in the summer, like 80-90 degrees hot. However, Alaskan summers are super short. Like about a month. After that, you lose more and more sun every day. So the winters are colder for longer than a month, which pulls down the average.
Edit: Of course, a lot of the climate there is in flux now. I'm not a climate scientist or anything so I don't know the data; but I remember the Iditarod was having problems a few years back because a bunch of the course didn't have snow.
@@brianeleighton yes, the southern parts are still cold, but not as cold as the average reported here for the state suggests.
I looked it up and the average for cities like Anchorage and Juneau is around 2.5 C (around 36F) instead of the -3C (26.6F) average for the state as a whole reported here. That’s a fairly significant difference.
Last July, my wife and I drove from Minnesota to Yellowstone in 2 days, then went south to the Grand Tetons. It was great because of COVID-19 kept the crowd very thin, one of the few silver linings! The temperature was very enjoyable, but there were a couple of places that were cold enough to warrant a light jacket, so you should be prepared when you go there! That said it is truly breathtaking the geysers in Yellowstone and the majestic Tetons!
I grew up in Minnesota and now live in Maine. The one thing that keeps
me in the North is we have 4 very distinct seasons to enjoy. Appreciation
of it being Summer, nice warm days, but anticipation of cooler pleasant
temps of Autumn. From November on, not unusual to snow and can
carry on sometimes into early May.
Exactly! The brutal winters makes us appreciate the beautiful summers even more. And winters have their own inherent beauty, it’s just in the eye of the beholder
@@dacrosber Amen. Now, I'm ready for some mosquito bites. 😊
@@marktoldgardengnome4110 As always! Can’t forget the deer and horse flies!
@@dacrosber LOL, They won't let you
forget!
@@marktoldgardengnome4110 right?! Some years they can be almost unbearable lol
Maine is a beautiful place. I'd highly recommend it. That lighthouse was Portland Head. I'd say most of those places are comfortably warm in the summer.
All of these cold places in the video are almost always warm and some of can be hot and humid. I used to work in Yellowstone and it is really nice in the summer. The park mostly closes from October to May due to the snow and impassible roads. There is one place in the park that is open in winter and it is the Snow Lodge in the Old Faithful area. You have to take a "Snow Coach" (basically a large snow mobile with seating for a few people) to get there and you would have to have reservations way in advance. Most of Yellowstone books up a year in advance so whenever you are thinking of going, starting going on their website a year in advance for reservations.
I was wondering about the passes into Yellowstone. I'm from Iowa but I had family, now deceased, that lived in Cody and we visited there bout once a year in the 1980's. Back then, unless you worked in the park, there was no way other that hiking in snowshoes or snowmobiling, to get in due to all the roads being buried under feet of snow. And no way I was gonna hike up there. I'd make a pretty good dinner for a grizzly.
I live in Minnesota and while winters here do get pretty intense (-20° celsius today and that's not even as cold as it can get), it also gets super hot and crazy humid here during summer. It's common for winter to last well into April, though. Early spring is when we get a lot of ice storms
I live in Minnesota as well. I remember when it snowed in the First week of May.
I was in Minnesota on July 4th and it was 55F. So no, not hot.
@@katherinetepper-marsden38 When did you visit and what part ? Only reason I ask is that Minnesota is a large state, it is 12th largest in the Union. I could see it be 55 degrees up by the Canadian border. The Twin Cities is really hot and humid during the summer.
@@shawnanderson6313 I am wondering this as well. Seeing as we normally can get into the 100s at least a couple of time in the summer in the Twin cities area. Oh and our humidity let's not even get started on that. Hot and sticky really just sums up a good portion of our summers.
@@iheart801 Yeah for sure, I mean I live in FL and MN and to be honest those MN summers are like being in FL. I only love to be close to the ocean so I cool off.
You should google "average temperatures for whichever state(s) by month". Many states are warming up by May. Michigan has rental cottages on many lakes that are pretty nice, as well as the massive Sleeping Bear dunes along Lake Michigan. I've heard South Carolina can be a pretty good alternative to Florida and may be cheaper as well. The southern states are going to be pretty hot in the summer. The sun absolutely bakes you from right overhead in Florida. Also, there's alligators there, so yeah, be careful. They pop up in town as well.
Alaska in the summer can be quite enjoyable. The near 24/7 night of the winter has been replaced by near 24/7 daylight of the summer. Temperatures down where the bigger cities are stay mild in the summer, rarely uncomfortably hot or cold, nearly perfect I would say.
The midnight sun has an interesting effect on the body where, during a short visit at least, you seemingly never get tired and only your watch will tell you when to sleep making it an almost jetlag free place to visit and so long as blackout curtains are available sleep iis not an issue either.
The sights that can be seen are some of the most amazing examples of untouched wilderness anywhere and unique bits of gold rush mining history are still preserved as well. The cities are a sight to behold as well as winter necessity has tightly packed them together in a style that I have not seen anywhere else in my, admittedly limited, travels or on video.
While I would not want to be caught in the state when the snow flies (had a brush with "termination dust" once and that was close enough thank you very much) during the summer months you are doing yourself a disservice if you are eliminating Alaska from your list of states to visit just because it gets so cold in the winter that the average is also cold, take a look at the summer temps, or consider a cruise to Alaska where you can be out amongst the whales and see the glaciers. My parents have done many cruises all around the world in their retirement and one they keep going back to is Alaska for the sheer grandeur of nature on display.
Note: I am not from Alaska, this is just the opinion of someone from Seattle who has visited the state on several occasions.
Amazingly, some of the coldest areas in winter get quite warm in the summer. It would be interesting to see the average temps in January and July instead of a year round average.
I remember taking a transfer to Fargo, North Dakota in February years ago. The day I drove my belongings up, it was -35F with winds gusting up to 70mph. The wind chill was about -75F. You could feel the Uhaul being pushed around the road. Definitely was an experience I didn't need.
Did you ever go to Pembina on the Canadian border? It's even colder than Fargo.
In South Dakota we can go from -33 C in the winter to 37 C in the summer (-27f to 100f)
True, but you can take solace knowing that North Dakota is colder.
In Phoenix, Arizona we have a lot of "snowbirds" that come from the Northeast, Midwest, Plains and Canada for the winter. Mostly retirees but some professionals as well. Yet Northern Arizona has its own skiing resorts.
I want to Yellowstone in July and it snowed everyday! Please take a jacket and a heavier type of coat. Yellowstone is still worth a visit.
Yes! Small towns. One of my favorite things to do is take road trips and explore small towns. If you want to really see what a local culture is like, skip the cities and visit the small towns. Vastly different across the US.
And don't stay at these corporate hotels chains either, book your stays at old quaint bed and breakfasts usually in a old Victorian or Queen Anne home... One corporate hotel is the same as another... If you are going to a seaport town in Maine, do it right and stay at a bed and breakfast...
@@ronclark9724 Amen, as the sign says when you enter the state,
Welcome to Maine The Way Life Should Be
We do encourage you to visit, just enjoy your stay and leave it the way
you found it please.
1973, Northern New Hampshire, I was due to process into the military. With wind chill, it was below minus 40 degrees Farenheit. Went to move the car and the left front wheel fell off. The lug nuts had shattered! Of course, that was an extreme event, but minus temps were always common.
I was in Yellowstone in late September and I would say I thought is was nice. Mornings were cool (even a bit of snow on a couple of days), but by noon I was comfortable in shirt sleeves. I would recommend staying in West Yellowstone just outside the West Gate to the park.
Heyo! New Hampshire guy here :) I feel like this video didn't do this amazing state any justice. Although he is right, and we have some unlucky hikers/tourists go missing during hiking in the winter, you will be hard-pressed to find the type of views here anywhere else. People drive from across the country to come here and see our forests change color during the fall. Once the winter season hits, you have amazing skiing/hiking throughout the white mountains and surrounding lakes areas. We have also been known to be some of the friendliest people in the country. So if you ever find yourself visiting the northeast, traveling through the quaint small towns, parks, lakes, and mountains will really do it for you.... just make sure you pack a jacket and a winter hat :)
From your brother to the north - they failed to mention the White Mountains. One of the most beautiful places on the globe.
I was born in NH, up on the Canadian border....this view of NH kind of pissed me off! It's such a beautiful state, and they show a NH "city"?
Our state always either gets ignored or crapped on in these videos. I live 30 to 40 min from the Mt Washington hotel and it's so gorgeous up here. I've been to several other places in the country and still prefer home.
@@angelab401 Just went to a wedding there and I've never seen a better sunset over the mountain range, it was picturesque! Cheers from home :)
@@MaddaTheApache My husband works at a hotel in my town that does a lot of weddings. They have a beautiful panoramic view of the mountains that makes for a gorgeous back drop to wedding photos and sunsets. That being said, I will admit the sunsets in Oklahoma are something to see as well. Nothing but sky and color.
I was raised in Alberta Canada. I've seen 100 degrees in Summer and, with wind chill, minus 40 degrees in winter. I worked, sometimes, in the oil fields in those conditions. I lived in Idaho with 3' of snow and minus 20.
When I was a kid (1970s) I lived just North of Anchorage, and really, the weather wasn't much different than Washington, where I live now. The ocean is quite warm, and keeps the climate quite warm. Fairbanks, has huge differences in temperature from summer to winter. Since its 350 miles from the ocean, it gets hot in summer, and cold in the winter. If you visit Alaska in the summer, you have the midnight sun. Anchorage gets dark around midnight and starts getting light again around 3am or so. And you HAVE to see the vegetables grown in the Matanuska Valley.
From Southern NH here - we expect a foot or so of snow by tomorrow morning Friday. Moving further north next year :)
Cars all over town here have been covered in ice with ice hanging off of them. Literally coated in ice like paint. I'm near the Illinois/Wisconsin border. The thing about living in cold states is it isn't always like that. We've had days in the 50's F (10 C) but we just had freezing rain. When you've been in -10F (-12C) then 50° feels like summer.
The Midwests weather is legit so ridiculous though. One day it'll be 12 and 62 the next
Agree with that feels likes summer after a cold winter. I moved to N WI 8 years ago and a 35 F with the sun feels great after a long winter. Though, I still find it strange that some go out in shorts and short sleeve shirts when that happens. Yes, you might see that wacky scene, IMO, in Feb or Mar in N WI or MN.
I live in Pennsylvania and the northwestern part of the state gets some brutal winters due to the lake effect snow from Lake Erie. It’s considered to be in the snow belt for a good reason! My daughter went to Penn State Behrend University and due to the frigid cold wind and snow, they had to put up ropes between the buildings so the students could get to class.
In my part of Texas, we have experienced several ups and downs in the temperature and weather this year. Recently, it was 82/27+ and then two days later it was below freezing. Two days ago it was 75/24 and today we had ice. I'm a warm-weather person. I grew up barefoot, T-shirts, and shorts.
Remember, these temps aren't throughout the year; it's what you get when you add all the months together & find the average. So Wyoming for example gets plenty warm in summer and plenty cold in winter.
I'm from the USA South, but I have visited nearly all of these States and I think that they are wonderful. I especially loved New Hampshire and northern Minnesota.
I'm from southeast Idaho, and yes, the Tetons in Wyoming are gorgeous in the winter, actually any time of the year. Grand Targhee ski resort is some of the best downhill skiing you'll find anywhere, and you can take snowmobile tours of Yellowstone NP in the winter. We do get really cold, especially with wind chill, but this area is more desert than not, so layering works well.
I had a mind melting experience the other day when I was converting some temps. I was telling friends in Mexico about weather my buddy was having in North Dakota. I converted -50f to c. Imagine my shock when I saw it was -45.5c! I investigated it with a scientist co-worker and we discovered that, the colder it gets, the gap between the numbers shrinks. Then at -40, it's the same. That's right! If you were in -40 temps and had two thermometers side by side, one set to c and one to f, they would be same. Then, the colder it gets after that, the gap between the numbers begins to grow again but this time, f is lower.
Don't get me wrong, I totally understand that the temperature *feels* the same regardless of the temperature *number* assigned to it. I'm just saying that the discovery of the math side of it squoze out all the juice in my mind grapes.
@@jsun4354 212 degrees Fahrenheit
@@bond1j89 That's what he said. Boiling (gas) to freezing (solid) is 212-32. So 180 is correct.
Whaaaa...
I would suggest visiting Alaska in the summertime. It’s supposed to be beautiful the only drawback is in the summertime the sun does not go down. The sun is up all day just like in the winter when the sun is down all day. I have not been but I would love to experience it one day. It’s one of those things that you do for the stories and memories
Hey Beesley and Millie, hope you guys are doing well. I love the new logo and the new background!
I can't get live in any of these state! The San Francisco Bay Area is usually 60 -80 degrees Fahrenheit all year long whether it's spring, summer, fall, or winter! We don't really have seasons here, it's just all one season!
The cold in Wyoming is what we call a 'dry' cold, which means the humidity is lower. You will love Yellowstone National Park. Those are elk, not reindeer. Another thing you should know about the western United States. States like Wyoming and Colorado are at a higher altitude that I'm sure you are used to. A good rule to follow....walk slower, breather deeper and drink about half as much alcohol as you normally do and you'll be fine.
Speaking of Alaska, they recently broke their coldest temp of minus 73 F with a minus 90 F. I visited Yellowstone park a few years back (the 1970s). They closed the park on June 22 because of a blizzard. I was camping in a tent in the mountains of Wyoming in August and woke one morning to a fresh 6 inches of snow.
and minus 90F is -68C,,,
I would definitely visit Yellowstone in the summer. The hot springs are only rainbow-colored in the summer. In the winter they are just a pretty blue
It's currently 30°(-1° C) where I live(between San Antonio and New Braunfels). I'm not a big fan of cold weather, so I look forward to spring, with it's warmer weather. You definitely need to research the average seasonal temperatures of the areas you are interested in visiting in the U.S. Love your reactions and interactions between both of you. ✝
I grew up in Maine and it’s a wonderful state. So many working fishing towns and villages along the coast but then lots of wilderness with rivers, ponds and lakes. Best in autumn and summer. Alaska is beautiful too. Just visit in summer. Yellowstone gets so many visitors so be aware of many people. Glacier National park in Montana and Canada is the best in my book.
There's an old quote that's been misattributed to Mark Twain: "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." He probably didn't say this, but we all know what it means. In the summer, the chilly fog and wind blowing off the ocean catches the tourists by surprise. So if you come here on your trip, be prepared!
Also, temps drop like a rock after sundown.
You can always tell the tourist in SF as they get caught when evening comes and they are still in short pants. They will feel like they are freezing in June come the evening.
My grandparents managed the Royal Pacific Motel/Inn, on Broadway, in North Beach, in the early 1960’s... Nights could be very cold...and uncomfortable, for sure!!
I've lived all over the place growing up. Germany, California, Texas, Missouri, Minnesota and feel the best and most at home in Minnesota. It took a bit to adjust to cold and how things still keep moving no matter the temp or amount of snow out there. I would rather add a layer of clothes and deal with cold more then being in heat. There is only so much you can take off before you get arrested lol. We do get all seasons here which I love and am kinda ready for with it being -6 F here right now. It is pretty and sparkly with all the snow though.
Actually, Alaska has more daylight hours per year than any state in the Union, including Hawaii and Florida. My June sunlight day is over 20 hrs long. Alaska in the summer is the most heavenly place on earth.
So glad this guy is helping to keep our population low. My winter in Anchorage is longer but North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Montana, Wisconsin, all have colder winters than South Central Alaska. Our temps are moderated by the Ocean. It is cooler than some places but can often be 80F- 90F during warm spells.
Not as warm as Fairbanks in the summer averaging 70F and I have seen 100F in July there.
You didn’t mention the biting bugs in the summer. 😀
My first thought was we all get the same number of hours of daylight per year, and that the long days of summer were balanced by the short days of winter, so that we all had 50 percent daylight hours. But then I googled it, and you are correct. Due to refraction of the atmosphere, the fact the the suns orbit is an ellipse, and the sun being a disc and not a pinpoint, the Arctic Circle gets the most possible hours of daylight on the entire planet, at approximately 53 percent. The equator gets the least at about 50.5 percent. Who knew? I learned something new today, YAY!
@@stevedietrich8936 @Steve Dietrich None of those are the reason the Arctic circle gets so much sunlight during the summer though. It's because the Earth is a sphere and has an axial tilt. Due to the difference in circumference, polar regions spend less time in the Earth's own shadow (night) than equatorial regions during the summer (when that particular pole's axis is tilted towards the sun).
@@Diraphe I think we all pretty much understand how the earths inclination and axial tilt cause summer days in the northern hemisphere to be much longer than winter days, and of course opposite in the southern hemisphere. The arctic circle gets complete daylight at the summer solstice, and similar darkness during the winter solstice. My comment was directed at why is the sum of possible daylight hours (as distinguished from sunlight hitting the ground due to clouds) over the course of an entire year not equal everywhere? Contrast that to people living along the equator who get little variation in the amount of daylight in the summer and winter. The answer is in my comment above.
If you go in September or October, the temperatures will between 10-16 degrees Celsius. Also, it’s the perfect time to go to a football game. I suggest going to the biggest rivalry in college. Texas vs OU which is in Dallas. It takes place during the Texas State fair which is a fun Texas experience with unbelievable food!!
❤I love this video at large but starting the YEAR with a GREAT INVESTMENT should be the wisest thing every individual should do. I will advice everybody who is into crypto to stick with ETH and BTC as much as you can guys.If everyone sells when it starts to fall, which at one point it will, the dream maybe lost because of it being too volatile for companies to get behind..

I've been to Maine during its late summer season. It's an amazing place and everywhere you look is picturesque. Nature (Acadia National Park), lighthouses, houses with cool colors, seafood, and the fun accents are just some of the few reasons to visit. I'd say it's one of those places you gotta check out once in your life.
You are exactly correct about being OK in very cold weather if you are prepared and informed.
Your parents should go to Bar Harbor in Maine. There are plenty of hotels and bed-and-breakfasts for them to stay at. Restaurants and the whole small fishing town vibe. They can eat fresh Lobster on the pier and visit small crafts shops. I used to go there every summer with my husband when we visited his family.
We in Wisconsin have a saying..."If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes, it will change." We go from 110 to - 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
As much as America is quite large, some of the smallest stats are in the north-east, so you could visit a lot of New England in a week and a half to two weeks. For example you could fly into Boston and take a Historical tour there, then head up the coast to see some of the old light-houses in Maine and try some pretty great fried seafood and lobster rolls. After that you could go hiking in New Hampshire; I recommend Mount Major to inexperienced hikers, because it's an easy short hike with a great view at the top, and if you go during the right weeks in August there are tons of wild blueberries on that mountain. After that you would still have time to visit Vermont, and try out some locally produced high quality cheeses, baked goods, and unusual maple flavored things. August would be best for wild blueberries, and orchards like Apple Crest in New Hampshire may be open, but the best time for apple picking and the height of Autumn foliage would be later in the fall ; you can look it up online, but my memory/guess would be late September into October sometime, but obviously, by then the wild blueberries will be gone.
As you mentioned, the winter isn't that bad if you're just visiting for a week or two, and I would recommend New Hampshire and Maine for affordable skiing/snowboarding trips. King Pine in New Hampshire is especially affordable and beginner friendly, for more experienced skiers/snowboarders, people debate between Sunday River, Waterville Valley, and Loon Mountain.
I just found your channel today. Lovely seeing Brits so curious about America and our history. My own family's genealogy comes from the British Isles.
It is truly beautiful here in Maine and even our largest "cities" are quite small. Winter is long with a first snow often by late November and March being what we refer to as "mud season" with the melting toward April. We can still get some good snows in April, but by then they usually don't stick around for long. This winter we have been around zero degrees for many days, rising a little more during some days as the sun is getting higher in the sky.
Summer here is lovely, and there are lots of things to do year round. Autumn is brilliant with the foliage turning almost neon colors. You have to time that right to see it. NH and Vermont have great fall foliage too, and I imagine the other cold states do as well.
Sure it's cold, but it's also beautifully snug and warm inside by the wood stove!
Maine is like a little jewel tucked up in the corner of the US. We are proud of our forests, lakes, mountains and of course one of the longest coastlines in the country with both beaches and rocky cliffs. Wildlife and outdoor activities are our way of life. We are home to Acadia National park and many beautiful smaller parks too. Maine's geology is fascinating and we have lots to do here year round, vibrant arts communities, some of the best small brewing companies in the country and our restaurants are amazing with some fabulous chefs and small Mom and Pop diners and brewery pubs that make it very hard for us to remain thin!
Any of the states are worth visiting though...maybe more so in the summer than winter unless you are truly adventurous about your experience and have good coats!
So happy to enjoy your videos today! You gave me wonderful smiles, on a day that I was really sad about the news.
I grew up in Duluth, Mn. Lake Superior gives lake effect snow too. It can be 20 degrees warmer or colder if you are up on the hill or down by the lake. It was great fun in winter sledding, skating, skiing. Lots of snow when growing up but last few years not quite as much. I live in Illinois now and we barely get any snow. I live for cold weather.
Fun Fact: -40 degrees Fahrenheit and -40 degrees Celsius are EXACTLY THE SAME. It's the one temperature where the two different scales just happen to line up. Of course, that's a small comfort when it's that freaking cold outside.
I’ve been to Alaska several times and have experienced the beautiful warm Summer weather! Much of my time was in Anchorage, however, traveled over 1600 hundred miles across the state! Fairbanks was 95 degrees and extremely hot! Anchorage was generally in the 70’s, which was awesome!
The best months to visit Yellowstone are April, September, and October. These “off season” months provide more chances to catch a glimpse of the local wildlife and enjoy thinner crowds. Bears emerge from hibernation between March and April, migrating birds arrive just before May, and the elk rut begins mid-September.
While weather in Alaska can be sometimes a bit unpredictable, the summer season (mid-June through mid-August) is usually the mildest and warmest time of our year, especially in the Interior, where temperatures can reach well above 80°F / 27°C and when it is not uncommon to see temperatures reach 90°F / 33° C
My grandparents went to Alaska for work, in Anchorage, in 1958. it's a lot warmer than Fairbanks. My grandma could wash grandad's Levis and just stood them up to dry, because they were frozen as soon as they came out of the washing machine
I have friends that run photo tours at Yellowstone during the winter. Transportation in the Park is by snow coach. The same people go to Alaska to take photos of the Auroras. While there they also take dog sled rides and tour ice caves. Both tours hav phenomenal photos.
The average annual snowfall in Alaska - at 1000 inches - equates to just around 84 feet, or approximately 26 meters.
If you ever do visit Alaska, you can always go in the summer! Juneau can have temps that reach the low to mid 70s, and have nearly 24 hours of daylight for about 30 days straight. I've never been to that beautiful state yet but, it's definitely on my bucket list.
There is a reason to visit in the winter. Off season is a LOT cheaper and if the weather is good, many National Parks are still accessible even in winter and there is no one around. i have traveled to the Giant Sequoias near Christmas with no snow on the road (there was snow all over but not on the roads) you could really enjoy the day without the crowds.
Summertime at Yellowstone will be in the low 20's C for highs, and from 5 to 10 C at night. Subtract 5 to 10 C in the Spring and Fall. You're not going in the winter, so don't worry about temps then.
I’ve been to North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho in the summer months and it can get quite warm there. It’s just that their summer seasons are much shorter than the southern states. Wyoming in the summer is beautiful. Yellowstone is a must see. Also if you’re out there travel to the Black Hills in South Dakota and stop off in Cody, Wyoming. So beautiful.
Even in Illinois currently where I am at, I go into the walk-in refrigerator at work to get warm !
I'm in Fairbanks, Alaska and it gets up to mid 90s Farenheit here in the middle of summer. THAT is ridiculously hot to me. We also get to 40 below farenheit ...and as far as 65 below zero Farenheit since I've been here. It is so beautiful here you would love to come.
I’m from Maine, and if you do want to see one of those marina towns, there’s one only a few miles south of where I live called Kennebunkport, there’s a bunch of different restaurants and shops around the Main Street, and it’s a common place for people to bring their boats to, a gorgeous little town.
Since polar areas like Alaska get a lot of daylight in summer and barely any in winter, it can get pretty warm and get to above ~25°C in Fairbanks. Yellowstone is very nice in the summer but can still get chilly at night. Don’t bother going during the rest of the year, not much is open and it’s often covered in deep snow.
I would suggest visiting Yellowstone in September. When the kids are in school and the weather is really nice! It probably will be chilly at night, and possibly get a dusting of snow, but daytime temperatures will be very comfortable, and have way less tourists. A three or four day visit can cover the park very nicely, and if your planning a trip of about six, to ten days, you must include Glacier National Park!
Pretty much. In the last 12 months in Minnesota, I've seen from -42C to 40C. Just got a metre of snow yesterday.
My town in Minnesota has a record low of about -45F to a record high of +110F. In winter the humidity can be as low a 5% in winter to 85% in summer.
In New Hampshire, you can be in a winter jacket in the morning, and then shorts and t-shirt by the afternoon. Go prepared for everything and you’re good to go anywhere! I live in the White Mtns of NH and we have anywhere from -20F to 100F+. July and August are the warmest, January and February are the coldest.
Have fun wherever you end up visiting!
In summer, there is usually a little snow left on the top of the Tetons. It may be cool in the morning and evening, but temperatures rise up pretty fast during the day. It will be very pleasant in the Yellowstone/Grand Teton area.
Jackson Hole, WY (south of Yellowstone) elevation is 6000+ feet. It's cold in the winter, in summer when the sun is out it can feel warm but it gets "chilli" quickly when the sun sets.
Oh so fun to see you react! I grew up and spent most of my life in MN. I'm from the Duluth area right at the tip of Lake Superior. The lighthouse you see in that clip is the Split Rock Lighthouse, which is about an hour north of where I grew up and was a constant stop for us to explore. I have also lived in Colorado, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and needless to say while I loved Colorado (hated Wisconsin and Nebraska) I have now settled in Texas about 20 min north of Houston. I LOVE not being freezing most of the year, love having sun for most of the year, love being about and hour and a little from the Gulf of Mexico beaches, and I never have to shovel or scrape my windows. :) Beautiful to look at the snow but not to live in it!
In Michigan a few years ago we had a winter that was -32 C (-26 degrees Fahrenheit) but in the summer we are usually in the 21-26 degrees Celsius (70-80s F) but can go even hotter. With climate change it’s been insane lately. Way hotter than it used to be. But Winter lasts close to 6 months for us which makes a lot of people really depressed. My mom often keeps her frozen food and milk in the car to store it in the winter since it’s so cold lol
yeah, used to be we could have 6-12in snow by Thanksgiving. now its green christmases and jan feb is a tolerable cold temp, its just that near constant cold ass wind for 2 months that really gets ya tired of winter, lol.
New England in the fall is stunning. The fall color is unlike fall color anywhere else. Colorado is gorgeous in the winter. You will be drinking a lot of tea and hot chocolate when you come in from skiing. I love little towns. Exploring them is amazing. You can walk around and be surprised around every corner. The coast of California and Oregon is a trip my husband and I have done a couple of times. My sister and her husband had a time share on the coast of Maine and that was amazing no matter what the season. Summer, fall, summer and spring. I haven’t made it to Yellowstone yet but it is on our bucket list. Love watching your videos James and Millie.
No state in the lower 48 is cold in the summer, unless you get unlucky. OTOH, there are parts of states that basically never see winter snow -- coastal California, Florida....
I’m from Maine, and our summers are warm. Definitely come here in the summer, and you would love our state. We have a ton of little coastal towns, where you can eat at a restaurant, and watch the lobster boats come in. Check out Acadia National Park, in Bar Harbor Maine. Wyoming and Montana are beautiful states too. We visited them in July, and they were warm.
For Wyoming...even in the summer you want a mix of clothing; shorts and t-shirts, trousers and long-sleeve t-shirts, hoodies or jackets, and it also never hurts to take hat, gloves, coat. If you go in early or late summer the chance of snow is greater. But any time during the summer you can have big temperature drops and if you're not used to it you will freeze your cheeks off.
alaska is a fantastic state my dad was in the air force and requested it 3 times as i was a child and growing we were there on all three request so when i was ten i can remember going out digging tunnels through big snow drifts that the wind built up and playing on big graded out out hills for sledding going ice fishing my dad and his friend would drive a camper out the the middle of finger lake dig holes to fish in and the kids put on our ice skates and go skating all around the area and we would gather around a field where we lived and tie a 9 ft toboggin to a snow mobile to see who could hang on the longest and during the aroura lights it dint get vary dark at all then in summer the temp got up to about 70 degree which felt almost hot after the winter
Right now, at 9:15 PM in Pleasant Grove, Utah it's 18 degrees Fahrenheit, -8 degrees celsius. But we have warm to hot summers so our averages aren't going to be the coldest. We get temperature inversions (super cold in the valleys, warmer in the mountains) which makes it frigid cold at times during the winter.
I have thin blood living in So. CA. However when I go to cold weather, it feels cold for the first day or two and then I start to get used to it. You can do your trip in the winter. Just bundle up and enjoy it.
Alaska is beautiful. Go there in July and August when it gets up in the 70's and the sun doesn't set. But bring a winter food for the nights and early mornings....can be a bit more than chilly. And yes, the ground show does melt in all 10 of these states in the summer.
All these places still get very warm in the summer, it’s even crazier in Canada, in the summer in British Colombia it was 45C and in the winter it goes to like -20
Something else about New Hampshire. Wind speeds on top of Mt. Washington are famous. They were once clocked at 231 miles per hour!
You should check out some of the footage from the Mt. Washington Observatory. It's insane up there in the winter.
Growing up in Nebraska it was always interesting to me the way people looked at the weather. The first fall day it hit 40 degrees everybody would be getting out their coats because it’s cold. Then the first 40 degree day in spring it’s t-shirt weather and nobody wants to wear a coat cuz it will make you all sweaty. Hot or cold is largely what are you used to and what do you want to do. When the temperature is zero my interest in camping is really low but then I’m not real big on camping when it’s 100 out either. But in the spring and fall when it’s around 70 during the day and in the 50’s at night it really fun to camp out.
Wyoming summers are hot and dry.
Some of the roads in the park are closed in the winter but it pretty.
You can expect 90-100 f in Aug, and down to -20 f in Feb. Windchill can get to -50's f.
MT on wolf creek pass has been down to -69 f apparently, but again the summers are hot often they have a week or two in 100 f +
Lol I’m from Idaho and I laughed my head off when he kept saying Idaho wants Californians moving here, that is sarcasm gold 😂
Billings Montana here, we get our share of negative temps each winter. The last 2 days we have been -25F at night and -7F for the high during the day.
Yellowstone is super pretty in the winter.
While Alaska is really cold in the winter, it's also quite warm in the summer, reaching up to 80°F (27°C). In Fairbanks from about mid-May to around the beginning of August, it simply does not get dark.
Worked for a major oil company that operated leases in Alaska. It was a rule that you never went anywhere alone. Pairs, just in case their was a problem. Learned this through experience.
I lived in Montana when I was a kid for about a year. It was 106 F in July in Billings. We moved 40 miles from Canada because my dad finally got a decent job there, and it got down to -40 (-70 with a windchill...it was always windy)...we used to go to DQ and get blizzards. Lol they actually closed their ice cream shops down in winter there then, and McDonald's sold souo and hot chocolate.
