I live in Alaska and it's pretty.

Ok, so it snows a lot more than I'd like it to. And you can't climb out doors in the winter. Oh, and even in the summer, it rains a lot. But then again, you get to look at stuff like this all the time... Not bad, eh? And (though this isn't from my living room window) I see stuff like this sitting on my couch looking out the window in the afternoon.
