The winters are cold but not that cold
Anchorage is cold but its coldness is not the same as Fargo or Minneapolis. If you are wondering why that is because the city of Anchorage is surrounded by the Chugach Mountains range. The maintained currents of the Pacific Ocean are also one of the factors that affect the temperature. In fact, the average daytime winter here ranges from 5 to 30°F.
