There are a few places in Anch where that could be a concern, but for the most part, I agree completely.
I may bitch about living here, especially in the ending winter months, but all it takes is a week or so visiting people down there to realize it ain't all that bad.

And in response to getting buds... IMHO, it can be dry at times too... like NOW. lol

You thinking about slow dotna or Kenai?
