[quote=ArneyLike the article said, people are burning furniture because it's too cold and dangerous to collect firewood outside. If it's too cold for hardy Alaskans to go outside, you know it's cold! [/quote]

If your talking about Nome, there's no firewood outside to collect. The article, missed that many of these rural towns are on the tundra and have no supply of normal fuels. The major exception is Point Lay where they "only" have to go about 20 miles over the tundra to dig coal out of a seam.
