This is getting to get old!!!! The last day with some sunshine was Dec 21st, while teh next chance for sun looks to be either Thursday or Friday...However, the temps have been EXTREMEMLY mild on the lows (in the 30's for days upon days--even @ night), so that will help a LOT on the next heating bill.

Taking it in the ass in Wisconsin!

Same thing in Pennsylvania. Mild winter, endless cloudy days.

[SinisterBlueCat]

oh I am so with you on that one frank...I am starting to feel a little neurosis coming on.

[frankthetank]

Just reread my message...wow...it really is "getting to get old!"...

I swear the next time the sun comes out i'm going to run around the block naked.

[elroy]

I'm having a feeling it's those clouds that keep the warmth from escaping. Cloudless nights are much colder than ones with clouds.

Same in Italy.
First day with sun since 21 december is today... everybody was getting depressed!

[The_Toecutter]

The longer I go without sun, the more happier and less depressed I seem to get. Weird.

[frankthetank]

nothing yet!

I'd be happy to give you some of our sun from here in sunny Queensland. We've had a prolonged heat wave over the last few weeks. A traditional Aussie Christmas, record temperatures and no rain in sight for days. Although we've had storms the last couple of afternoons. You're welcome to come and get some rays.

It rained during new year's weekend ,but It's nice and sunny now, here in southern california. I actually like the rain, because we have so many sunny days.

[gnm]

Its actually been depressingly sunny here. Haven't had a decent storm in 2 months. Its wickedly dry and been real damn windy. I feel like a piece of freeze dried meat...

NM has 2 seasons...

hot dry and windy and cold dry and windy...

please forward all storms this way....

Seasonal affective disorder, or some other issues?

It looks like Friday the sun will come out, nice shot of cold air looks to make its was all the way down to Miami (they're talking of frost/freezes in south Fl for Sunday)...

Virgin~I have over 1000posts, of course i have issues!

Oh..it was cloudy today

[frankthetank]

THis about sums it up for the last 2 weeks...



Those are clouds, not snow...i've got a little mound of black snow in my yard and thats pretty much it, it looks like November!

You should think yourselves lucky. At least you don't have kaamos (endless night in the Arctic).

')Psychiatrist tackles demons of Arctic winter darkness
By Marko Leppänen

Wednesday and Thursday, December 21st and 22nd, are the shortest days of the year. Kaamos, the period of winter darkness when the sun does not appear at all in the northernmost part of Finland, is at its darkest. However, that is also when the pendulum swings and starts to move toward the sunlit nights of the summer.
The reminder should be a comfort at least to that ten percent of Finns who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) - winter depression induced by a lack of sunlight. Probably just about everyone complains about the darkness to some degree.
