I live in western upper, lower michigan. Very near to lake michigan. In the late fall months, moisture tends to start to gather over the lake, resulting in cloud cover. We seldom have sunny days during winter. When those occations do arise, the likelihood of the temps being sub zero is high.
So...those long days of sunlight, in my existence, are prized.

If you work indoors it sucks because you end up being inside all day with no sun. I don't mind it but in the dead of winter it gets oppressive. Enjoy the short days at first though.

i don't care what time the clock says it is...
i find my irritability is at it's highest around the summer solstice. it has 14 hr.s, 6 min.s, and 45 seconds of daylight. my melatonin suffers hard!
the winter solstice has only 10 hr.s, 10 min.s, and 56 seconds of daylight. it's my fave day and night of the year 💜 nice and cold and dark!

Imagine living in Alaska during the 24-hour day summers.

It's because it means the cold is right around the corner and I'm NEVER ready for winter.

I didn’t care until I got a dog. Kinda sucks doing anything past 5 PM walk wise.

Being out running errands after work, especially on foot or on public transportation was a drag in the dark. That’s why I didn’t love the days getting shorter.

@bijouxbroussard I'm a strange weirdo. I like going out in general under the cover of dark. Less people around and I always feel like I'm not being noticed.

I like how the light and shadows change.

@CopperCicada yessss

It gets dark @ 5. That's a little early for me but 6 is good.

If it didn’t get so damn cold where I live I wouldn’t mind as much but it does

@MethDozer It’s brutal and yes they do. My kids missed 12 days of school due to the cold and snow and we don’t shut down for a skiff of snow and cold. It’s hazardous to travel because it’s so cold.
I just hate it so much 😭😭😭

@iamonfire696 Yeah, I don't think I would either unless I was in a cabin with zero adulting responsibilities outside of home

@MethDozer I try not to leave my house often during winter 🤣
