This is my single largest complaint about the PNW. Not only are the days short in the winter, but the sun is constantly behind cloud cover. You can literally go months without experiencing direct sunlight.
- toast0 6y agoAt least in my corner of the PNW, the clouds are always moving. Most days, there's at least some sun peaking out here and there. December and January can get pretty bad though, not looking forward to missing my annual trips.
- mikestew 6y agoMeh, you could go months without seeing sunlight, but you'd have to work at it. The PNW is the area of the country that introduced me to the phrase "sun breaks". It might not last long, but certainly within the span of a month one will have the opportunity to view direct sunlight. For me, the key thing to living somewhere with dark winters is to get outside regularly. That's how to catch a "sun break" once in a while. Live in the rainy PNW? Gortex was invented over 50 years ago. Pricey, but it works. Even running in the dark, pissing rain at 5:30 a. m. is better than sitting inside all day, IMO. But, hey, we all WFH now, right? Go run when the sun's up. And if the outdoors ain't your thing, it's probably time for the annual round of corncob light rigs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21660718 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21660718
