Just in case you were wondering
Our stats for sunrise and sunset today according to Weather Underground:
Sunrise: 10:55 AM AKST
Sunset: 2:52 PM AKST
;_;
Adding insult to injury, the sun won't actually shine on our house until early February, because the sun is so low on the horizon at this time of year that it doesn't rise above the hill to the south of us. What this looks like is that the sky gets clear and blue, and the yard gets sort of bright, like a densely cloudy day ... and then sunset happens. Repeat until February.
(The light also has a pinkish cast all day long, like sunset, because the sun never rises above that low sunset angle. On the bright side, we do have awesome winter sunsets that last all day, allowing for the fact that "day" is three hours long.)
Just in case you were thinking about moving to Fairbanks.

And, honestly, it does get easier after the solstice, even here, because the days are getting longer, at least. It's February and March when the oppressive weight of winter really hits me, honestly, because March is still the dead of winter in Fairbanks (it doesn't get noticeably springlike until April), and even though the days are getting fairly long by that point, it's still 0F and there's 2 feet of snow everywhere and it really starts to feel like winter JUST WILL NEVER END.
