How many days of sunshine to anchorage and fairbanks see in a year?

Anchorage and Fairbanks see the sun every day of the year since they are below the Arctic Circle. Only above the Arctic Circle are there days in the winter with no sun. See the link below for more details on Alaska daylight.

In Anchorage there is sunlight every day and i believe it is the same for fairbanks. In winter, the sun doesnt rise till late morning and it sets later in the afternoon, depending on what the time year it is. In the summer the sun is up most of the day

120 days

What do you think is the most safest, cleanest, affordable entertaining city is in the US?|163133

Please only answer if you have been there or have a very good knowledge of the city. In addition, when I mean cleanest I mean not very dusty and no extreme amounts of pollen because I have allergies to them.

We go to Branson Missouri and love it.Rooms are reasonable,lots of entertainment,safe,and lots to do.Try it out.You can walk the strip,play golf, go to an amusemnt park, attend great shows, visit a winery and so much more.

Branson Missouri in September!

When will it start getting cold in San Antonio?|161043

This Summer has been one f the hottist,we_vee been over a 100 almost every day. Now its been finally going down. Although i do like the heat, but when will it start getting cold enough to wear a jacket and pants everyday? i know it will already be cold before christmas gets here even though Winter doesn_tt start till the 21st of December this year. but when can i expect it to start getting cold?

It starts to cool down toward the end of October, but doesn_t get seriously chilly until January, which has an average daily temp of 49.3 degrees, and usually at least a few days below the freezing mark.

You_ll have a few chances to wear your jacket in November and December, but unfortunately San Antonio only has two real seasons: Summer and January. ;)

Actually, it has been a pretty average summer for Texas, no matter where in the state you are. The summer of 1980 was far worse. _84 was all water rationing and the like, and blistering hot. (I worked construction for a whopping four weeks in San Antonio that year.)

When does it get cold? It cools off in October, and after Thanksgiving you_ll probably start wearing a jacket.

Actually, San Antonio has 4 seasons......summer, summer, winter and winter.

Typically mid-december to january. And it won_t be gradual, you_ll walk outside and it_ll be a freezer.

If you_re looking for FREEZING cold,then that will happen between December- January.

Mt Pinos is a little closer.

Lancaster is OK, too.

stay somewhere local, or like no more than a 2/3 hour drive. a full tank of gas would probably get you far.

Any advice on what places to see and things to do while on vacation in Chicago?|104771

I am going to Chicago next week. I know I want to see the Sears Tower skydeck, Navy Pier, Millennium Park and the Hancock building I am just overwhelmed by how to pick what other places to see. And which is worth it. Are some of the museums worth the visit? We will be there 4 days. Just getting some advice from others.

Sears (Willis) Tower will give you a great view, especially from _The Ledge,_ which is a new glass porch that allows you to actually _see below your feet._ I would go to the John Hancock Building for the sky view. You can have a great meal or enjoy a cocktail with the view for free:

The Cubs will be away, but the White Sox are at home. What about a major league baseball game?

Many people come here to shop. Michigan Ave has all of the top name stores...not free:

Be prepared for spending $$$. If you_re driving here, the parking lot fees will almost break the budget. Hotels and admission fees are not cheap, but you already know that. Cab fares are high but the CTA is not. Your hotel concierge will direct you to the closest bus stops and _el_ stations.

If you plan a lot of museum visits, get a Chicago City Pass or a Go Chicago Card:

Lastly, a deep dish pizza. There are several downtown locations. All are good but expect a line. My favorites are the originators...G _ H below:

If you even a little bit of a culture vulture don_t mis the new Modern Wing at the Art Institute. Another great museum, but a little out of the way is the Mexican Museum. Check the concerts and rehearsal in the Park. Also the best tour - and we send everyone that visits us - the Chicago Architectural Foundation Boat Tour on the river - this is a MUST. I would also tell you to be sure you get the CAF tour!

Sears Tower, John Hancock, Millennium Park, You could do all of these in one day...Navy Pier is very nice try to go on their boat tours, and if you feel up to it you can do the bike tour ;0) Ohh...Don_t forget to hit the great cafe_s and restaurants in the down town area...Not to brag but we have great food.
I hope you enjoy your stay!

You can go see the Sears Tower And the john hancock building
