Look! Up in the sky! It’s big, it’s yellow, it shines! It’s THE SUN! ---

(Glances out the kitchen window) Yup. Plenty of sun here in NYC. ---

I’d say “move to Arizona,” but it’s been fucking cold here, too. We’re getting freeze warnings and a helluva lot of snow in the mountains. One mountain is closed at the base unless you live at the top and have chains or 4WD. ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > I haven’t seen the sun is a fucking week. Granted, you do live in a “beach town” so I get it… but think of it this way: no traffic jams from A-hole tourists, you can get the “good” table at any restaurant in the area, and you can walk on the beach like you own it with no one bothering you! OK. Sun, huh? Alright… Lets see what on the schedule for today. Wait a minute… wait a minute… We’re still in January! You’re not due for an unexpected sun burn until April! You get outta here before you get beaten about the head and shoulders with Rob Ford sized steak!!! Or have the entire roster of your Leafs swapped with the NJ Devils! Go…! Git…! ---

actually I like cloudy rainy weather but we only had 5 sunny days between xmas and Tuesday …weve even had snow flurries for about 20 minutes … but theres snow all around us in the mountains now… we have the usual high 24/7/365 desert wind festival tho but my great aunt lives in Westminster and the pier at seal beach even got a few snowflakes seems mother nature is trying to end the drought in a single month … ---

> [@Anthony\_Reed](#): > > Maybe I’m not right, but I assume that you like to spend your vacation in rainy or cold places:) I wouldn’t turn down a free trip to the UK 😉 In all honesty, I appreciate \*feeling \*the sun’s warmth; I just don’t need it shining in my face 24/7. Unfortunately that’s not the usual combo. ---

I live in the PNW for a reason. I am perfectly happy not having the evil light of the daystar searing holes through my retinas for months at a time. (Yes, bask in the user name/post combo). 🆒 ---

> [@Morgenstern](#): > > Man I hate this freezing cold here in SoCal too. It’s scheduled to be sunny all week, too cold for the clouds, with temps between 60 and 71. At those temps it’s almost too cold to wear flip-flops, but I pretty much soldier through it and wear them year round. Bad news is, next year you all drink sewage. Good news, not enough to go around. ---

Quit whining, you spoiled brat. You’re at 43 degrees North. That far South, the sun is over the horizon nearly ten fucking hours of the day. I’ve got friends living in places where they couldn’t see the sun, no matter the weather, until just over a week ago. Even down where I live, the sun is over the horizon less than seven hours a day, and around solstice we had it for only four and a half hours a day. EDIT: If it would ever clear up, that is… I hate the winter darkness. ---

You are all spoiled. I haven’t seen the sun since the middle of November. And theres been almost two weeks when it should have been over the horizon. I am getting seriously worried someone may have… pricked it with a branch of mistletoe or something. ---
