What March feels like
March is what people mean when they say they went to Fairbanks: days long enough to ski or mush, nights still dark enough for lights. Chena Hot Springs runs full most evenings, and the local move is to soak while you watch.
Winter is doing its thing: 6.5 in of snow in a typical March, with fresh snow on about 7 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
