- phamilton 15y agoI used to live in Luleå. It is also tied for most sunlight in a year in Sweden. Fun fact: Durung the winter they put sign posts into the ice and drive right over the Lule river. It makes for a great shortcut across town. The article makes it sound completely remote, but it isn't. Google had an office there for a few years. There's a decent university there. Though the population is only 50k, it attracts everyone within 200km, so the city has a disproportionate amount of entertainment and other industries.
- growdetroit 15y agoPretty amazing. On average, How many days of sunlight did you have a year?
- phamilton 15y agoI only lived up there during a winter, but even during the winter it was either snowing or perfectly clear. Very rarely did we have cloudy overcast days. It's not just the number of days though. It's the fact that for half the year you get 20+ hours of sunlight a day.
