It will be nice to see the sun this weekend. It's been awhile!

It’s been up to 10 days in some locals since they’ve seen Sun.

Seasonal affective disorder is a real thing

No doubt!

There aren't too many things I miss about living in TX, but one of them is seeing the sun dang near everyday

Thankfully I don't have seasonal affective disorder. But the only thing I dislike about winter is the short days.

Days are getting longer now too.
Daylight hours now are similar to November ~12th.
Maybe why Ground Hog Day got it’s start.

Absolutely, lack of sun gets to me! So is having most the entire winter feeling and looking like early April. Stick and mud season was bad enough when it was mostly limited to spring. Now it lasts for most the winter also

I noticed how much shorter the daylight hours were in northern Michigan. For Jan. 17, 2024 in Petosky sunrise was at 8:03am and sunset was 5:44pm. That's compared to sunrise at 7:23am and sunset at 5:37pm in Harrisonburg, VA the same day. Since I started driving early from Petosky a few days later and made it to Harrisonburg in a day (800 miles), the difference in the mornings was obvious at breakfast time.

It looks like the sun will be shining all weekend and well into next week. Get out there and soak it in (and make plenty of vitamin D).

Yup. Northern to southern latitudes sure makes a difference. On the bright side we're picking up 2 mins a day of daylight now. By the solstice the north has more than 1.5 hours more daylight than Florida in the summer

I started skiing BECAUSE winter used to bum me out. Now I think "it can't snow if it ain't cloudy."

I can't tell you how many people have told me they are excited about Saturday because he sun is supposed to come out!
