Well, here's some weather information to cheer you up: It's 1.8C / 35.3F here, partly cloudy. Length of day: 2h 38m. Tomorrow will be 8m 26s longer.
Couldn't live there in the Winter. I don't mind the cold weather so much, but the reason I don't like Winter is the lack of daylight - it'd never do to be that far north. In the summer time, on the other hand....

Wow, it goes that fast up there? Up here it averages three minutes.

It's not as bad as it sounds. The twilight lasts very long here. And we have the nordlys. 🙂

Well, we have to catch up with you until the equinox, so we have to hurry up.

Doesn't matter - I need the sun. I would, however, love to see the nordlys some time. Have always wondered what it (they?) looked like.

We just broke a record for the most days without at least one hour of sunshine -- 15 days. I missed the four seconds the sun was out yesterday. I'm thinking of cutting out a big piece of yellow paper and taping it to the wall so to help me remember what the sun used to look like.

Not wanting to do the conversion, and not caring anyways, it is supposed to get up to 82F here today... if so, it will be a record for high temp on this date, like it was yesterday when the 80F high temp beat the record of 79F...

Needless to say, this is why I live in Arizona 🙂

Get them here in Northern Ontario all the time. Like dancing curtains of light. A couple of years ago, one was extremely bright that the moon couldn't outshine it. It was an emerald green with pale green backgrounds. It is very rare to get the Northern Lights (or nordlys) in that form this far south. (as ironic as it seems)

Sounds dreary enough. Where abouts?

Really? Only because of the weather?

Nordlys mentions by PM (seems she's been a naughty Nordlys 😲 and is temporarily unable to post messages) that the best time to view the nordlys is around the equinox.

Wisconsin USA ... too dreary and dark to go outside and watch the rush hour traffic go by (4 cars). Syracuse was just as dreary, but at least it was civilization!
