Alicia, It is great to hear from you!!!
That's an interesting question that I hadn't thought of. Although it was warmer when I was in Alaska last year than it has been here, I think I was probably colder there because being on a boat, my hands were wet quite often. I think I probably also have heavier clothes down here.
I am working with meteorologists who manage remote automated weather stations around the continent.
I have seen lots of interesting things. Checkout the Journals and the Gallery.
Hope you are having a great year. 
Mr. B.
