The Weather is not Phoenix

The Weather is not Phoenix

Day 12. Twin Cities held hostage. It has been about 12 days since most of us have seen any significant sunshine in the Twin Cities, and most of Minnesota and western Wisconsin. There was reportedly some 330 minutes of sunshine back on Dec. 23, according to National Weather Service records. Now it's true that there were about two hours of sunlight in the southwestern metro on Sunday, New Year's Day, but the clearing line didn't quite make it into most of the metro. It's a mixed blessing, I know. The roads are in decent shape, we're all saving money on heating bills, but we're all half-crazy because of a lack of sunlight! How do people in Seattle and Portland stand it?.above from www.wcco.com

I feel your pain. Norway- maybe six hours between sunrise and sunset. Overcast everyday. And when the lord says let their be light for Norway in the winter, then it is noon and the sun looks like a big star way out on the horizon. keep dreaming of sunier days.

It was warm today here in MN, but I know it is only a tease. The sun gets me excited for spring, but instead, I get another 2 and a half months of sub 30 weather. Don't you just love the north.
