As was stated, it depends on where you are in the state.
In the arctic, for example (the city of Barrow), the sun doesn't rise for two months; while in southeast (Juneau, Ketchikan), it is much like Seattle.
Everybody gets dawn and dusk, but with the snow reflecting the smallest amount of light, ti is quite beautiful. I have spent many nights in the shadow of Mt. McKinley in winter, and seeing the moon over the mountain, and the Northern Lights overhead, remind me of why I live here.

varies widely depending on how far north you are and when. At the Acrtic Circle, on Dec 21st, there is 24 hours of non-visible sun. It's still light, like predawn, post dusk, just no sun. Anywhere farther south there is at least some sunlight. Farther north, more days without.
In the south, where I live (Homer) the shortest day has just over 5 hours of sun, and about 8 hours of light. Today will have almost 10 hours, as we approach the equinox next month.
In Barrow, on the North Slope, the sun will finally rise in the next week or two, after being down since October. Not that they don't have light. They have an almost dawn everyday, directly south.

Nope, maximum do no longer. people who stay in the boondocks ought to flow out and bring in water/snow and/or timber to warmth the area. They take walks, they flow see neighbours. they should shovel the stroll/deck etc. those in rural aspects that have not got buses have automobiles, sleds and/or snowmobiles human beings get out a lot. there is strolling additionally which would be extra trouble-free than a lot of different issues in lots of places. very nearly all of us know approximately "cabin fever" that's once you spend too a lot time indoors. So, taking a stroll approximately isn't in simple terms an Australian concern. We do exactly no longer call it a "stroll approximately."

It all depends if you are North of the Arctic Circle. Dec 21 the sun never shines north of the circle and on June 21 the sun never sets north of the circle
