As the largest U.S. state, weather conditions vary. The north and northwest coasts have a subarctic climate with long, fridge winters and cool summers. The vast interior has frigid winters, but summers are mild with a few hot days. Expect glaciers and permanent snow in the mountain regions. The south coast is similar to the west coast of Norway and enjoys a warm current with abundant precipitation.
