Ifly,

I'm sure that you've lived in many places in your career thus far. I have lived in too many numerous places to list. I have always, always found some good in everywhere that I have lived.

I have several friends that have busted their a$$ to get back to ANC after having lived up there and moved away for other opportunities. Most after spending years downstate have successfully relocated. I have visited ANC several times and had the great pleasure of touring the state in a C180, C402 and a Lockheed Electra. It's absolutely amazing! I interview in two weeks and hope that I have the opportunity to return as a resident. Having said that though, I am from Northern Michigan and love the snow, I hunt, fish and generally would rather be outdoors than in.

They do have two week stretches of RSV as well as a 13 day but I would think that quality of life with a family would be worse for a stretch that long. Good luck on your decision; have you interviewed already? Or is it coming up soon?
