...is the sun still out there? I haven't seen it in ages. Days and days of dreary clouds, mist, and fog here. I truly cannot remember how long it has been since we had sunshine. It's depressing. If we're lucky, we'll see some sun on the 31st. On a good note, it's been rather warm the past couple of days, mid-30s, so I guess you could say we're into our January thaw.
shareI saw it today.
shareDon't worry, there's still a sun. I see it every other day here, though we get cloudy days too. You must be in a very cold, northern place to have so much cloud cover. Last state I lived in like that was Wisconsin, and boy do I not miss it.
shareI'm next door in MN, so yeah, a cold, northern place. Except it's not that cold right now - it's 27° - and yes, still cloudy. Although, in winter when it's sunny it's often very cold, so I guess we've traded sunshine for warmer temps. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
shareIn Alaska, they compensate for the cold, dark winters by setting up a "sun room" in their homes, with UV lights to hang out under. It helps Alaskans produce Vitamin D so they don't suffer too much from Seasonal Affective Disorder (a form of depression caused by lack of sunlight). It also prevents their kids from getting rickets.
shareIt is a bummer, I miss the lawn and green leaves overhead
On the bright side, it's good weather for staying inside and cleaning the house, organizing and planning for the coming Spring👍
