Why doesn't all of Alaska have cold, snowy winters?
My answer: All of Alaska does not have cold, snowy winters because not every part of Alaska possess tundra, subarctic, and humid continental climates. In fact, the Pacific coast from northern California to southern Alaska have climate described as marine west coast, which consist of long and, but rainy and foggy winters.

*long and mild, but rainy and foggy winters.
Right. Specifically, the Alaska Current of the Pacific Ocean flows north and brings warm temperatures to southern Alaska.
