If you exclude Alaska, about 80% of Russia is north of the northernmost point of the continental USA.No surprise. US and Russia cover pretty similar climatic zones, north to south.
Understood. BUT Alaska is part of the US (as is Hawaii) and if you notice, I didn't say latitude, I said climatic zone. Much of the Eurasian land mass is influenced by ocean current-driven climate patterns that don't mirror the climate/latitude relationship of North America. The parts of Siberia that mirror the northern tier of CONUS are 15 - 25 degrees further north.If you exclude Alaska, about 80% of Russia is north of the northernmost point of the continental USA.

Roger that! Up here the year has five seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter, and mud (aka sugarin') season, when the warm sunny day and the exercise seduces you into heading out dressed light, then the sun goes down, the mercury plummets, and you freeze.
