- Skunkleton 9y agoMaybe you could put the whole city on a barge and migrate south for the winter?
- mikestew 9y agoWhat difference would that make? You still have to deal with almost sixteen hours of darkness in December. Shifting clocks around isn't going to change that physical reality.
- Skunkleton 9y agoI would like my sunset to be around 8:30 pm every day. That way I always have daylight after work. That's just my preference, I know it wouldn't work for everyone.
- mkempe 9y agoTwo things to say: a) come spend winter in Sweden... in Lapland the sun does not set at all in June and there is darkness around the clock in January; Stockholm is not that far up North, so we get a few hours of daylight in mid-December; and b) if lack of daylight in the winter is such an issue, maybe move to Southern California, or somewhere even closer to the equator. Three things, actually :-) c) consider spending your winter months in the Southern Hemisphere. Some animals migrate vast distances twice a year.
- rconti 9y agoI was actually surprised during a visit to Stockholm (granted, in May) that it was not light that much later than my native Seattle in the summer. I guess there's probably a reason major cities in Scandinavia are not all that far north in their respective countries :) I've been above the arctic circle in the summer, but thankfully never in the winter.
- mkempe 9y agoThe really long days are in late June. In early May you’d be halfway between equinox and solstice...
