Are there inhabited places in the U.S with no summer?

Question

I.E, frost almost every night of the year. What are some of these towns or cities and how do plants grow there?

Answer 1

Areas in the high alpine Rockies have frost almost every night. There are few towns at those altitudes, and agriculture is not their mainstay, but wild, frost-hardy plants do grow there.

Cattle can be grazed on the grasses, wildflowers abound in the summer, though most have short stems, keeping them close to the retained warmth of the soil even when air temps are below freezing.

I lived for many years in Basalt, Colorado, which is quite a bit lower than the alpine areas, but we camped a lot in those areas, and the plant growth is varied and extensive, though the temps are not pleasant! When one goes even a bit higher, though, growth is scant. (Above the tree line.)

They still have summer; it's just not anything like summer in Los Angeles. I once ate barbecue at a Fourth of July party in Aspen while brushing snowflakes off my shoulders! That was a short-lived and very rare July snowfall, though snow in June is more common.

I'm sure that around 14,000 feet, only VERY hardy plants grow, but people seldom live that high. Animals do, though, and the prey animals must be eating something. I don't think Rocky Mountain sheep live on lichen.

Answer 2

Summer is defined not only by temperature, but also by daylight. Anywhere north of the Arctic Circle, there is a period of time around the summer solstice where there is no night at all, it is literally daylight around the clock. What you are referring to is growing season. In much of Alaska the growing season is short enough that trees and crops can not grow, but there are still tundra plants such as lichen, moss, and willow shrubs. The northernmost town in the USA is Barrow, Alaska, and the average low temperature in July is 34 degrees Fahrenheit, above freezing, but just barely. Remember the whole controversy about ANWR is partly about the caribou that live there. Well, caribou have to eat. One of their main foods is lichen. I suggest you read up on lichen and tundra plants to learn about how they survive the cold.

Answer 3

Everyplace has a summer whether it is inhabited or uninhabited. There is even summer at the North and South Poles.
Summers elsewhere may not be like the summers we know, but it is commonly viewed as the season with the longest (and warmest) days of the year, in which the daylight predominates, through varying degrees.

Answer 4

I would say Barrow, Alaska. Maybe not frost every night, but too far north to sustain outdoor plants because of sun and soil temp requirements.

Answer 5

Alaska has mosquitos during the summer

Hawaii has such a constant (hot) climate, that one season is almost indistinguishable from the next.
I know in tropical Australia, they only speak of 2 seasons in the year ... WET season (when there are monsoon rains) and dry or hot season (ther rest of the year)

Answer 6
