If today stays sunless it will be my 14th day this month without sun,
which doesn't tell the complete story. 1 day with 0.01 hours, 1 day
with 0.03 hours, and one day with 0.06 hours, so as good as 17 sunless
days.

And I thought it was just me feeling SAD!!!

I feel for you Keith. One of the things I noticed when I moved up to
Dartmoor 8 years ago was how cloudy the place is. Everyone told me that
Devon was sunny, but that is only on the coast, in the hills we get endless
cloud and fog sometimes. But Keith, it *will* end and when the sun comes out
again, I tell you you will feel so energised that it will feel great to be
alive once more. I remember a few years back after over a week of cloud/fog
and drizzle the sun poked through and the skies cleared, I dashed out into
the garden and starting singing literally - it gets to you!
Come on bright arctic air, get a move on :-)

Yet digging into my records a little further I was surprised to find
that my dullest December was 2002 with a total of 26.7 hours of
sunshine and 19 sunless days, compared to a total of 48.11 hours for
2010. 2002 was also a mild month.

How our memories get short.
