All my military friends who were stationed in Alaska LOVED it, even the non-outdoorsy types. Some did end up using those light boxes in the middle of winter.

Anchorage is blessed with milder weather than much of Alaska due to the fact that it is a coastal city. The ocean currents help to moderate the climate, meaning winters are mild and summers do not get very hot. Fairbanks is in the interior, it is blessed with hot summers (90 dgs some days) but very, bitterly cold winters.
