Cold out?
I've yet to figure out this phenomena, but every time I seem to comment on the chilled weather in Alaska I generally get this awkward pause followed by a look that insinuates, "Duh, it's Alaksa!".
However, I have been approached with the same observation by people who are themselves seemingly Alaskan. Maybe there's a general range of temperature where this observation is allowed and other warmer times when it is not. If so, I have yet to define it.
I'm pretty sure that if it were -40 degrees that I could get away with this conversation starter of commenting on the cold weather, yet I might be inclined to think that 20 degrees doesn't really qualify.
Can anyone expound on this thought?

Ha!
"Duh, it's Alaska!" is not what people are thinking when you say that. You could, however, attribute that look to this thought: "Duh, wear a coat dumbass!"
:-D
I think 20 is when you can start making such comments, but only if you are at least vaguely attempting to dress appropriately.
I've heard that all my life, "Wear a jacket dumbass."
I guess its more appropriate up here.
just a little. I mean, come on, if you feel it is cold enough to comment on the cold...
