Dad got assigned to Ladd AFB, Fairbanks, Alaska in the early 1950s.  We arrived 
Fairbanks on July 4, 1953, and the temp was over +90F.  Six months later, in 
January 1954 (don't remember exact date) it was -62F.  I was in second grade 
and had to walk to school in the dark and walk home after school in the dark on 
that (and many another, similar) day.  :-)
