The Sun is in California, where it belongs.
I love reading about how much it sucks to live someplace where days can go by without sun.
You Californians need to stop peddling this bullshit. A fellow Canuck was in Orange County last week and it rained the whole freaking time. It was also, according to official weather reports, colder than a witch’s tit.
Yeah, “sunny California” is kind of a myth. SoCal climate is pretty temperate but it has it’s fair share of overcast days and rain. I remember in June the sun wouldn’t break through the haze until noon on most days. And of course there’s that protective layer of sun filtering smog.
I miss it 
But the point is, there’s some variation. If I have to be stuck with a constant, I admit that sun is better than snow storms but believe it or not, it can be pretty damned annoying.
We’re seeing one of the worst droughts in living memory here in Eugene … 5 days without rainfall … I’m expecting all the trees to die in the next couple days …
Well, Rick Jay, the fucking sun has its fuckstick heat lasered on Oz at the moment, breaking all mercury records over the last 150 years. Days and days of 40 C (I don’t speak Fahrenheit) and even 31 degrees at 2am one morning. Everything and everyone is cooked, steamed and fried and it’s a game of hazard and hilarity trying to get into your car that’s been sitting in it all day.
So I’ll think of you, you can think of me, and somewhere there might be a cerebral temperature land in which humans can exist.
Still no sun, and we are two days away from February. Sunrise was 9 days ago.
This makes over 9 weeks since sunset, and as I remember, that was pretty cloudy too, so I think its been about ten weeks since there was any sunlight here. Including the two-month night, of course.
Today parts of Sydney were 44C (111F). Some are still above 30C (86F) now and it’s almost midnight.
Going to be hotter tomorrow too.
Sun’s back. About fucking time.
I with you. It’s winter! Winter, dammit! The sun is blazing away out there and it got to 77 today. Next Tuesday it’s supposed to be 87. I want some fucking cold gray gloom.
And lose the mold, please. Less of that.
I must have lived in a different Florida that you do. Not only did it not shine 24/7, but when it rained it rained 14h/day for the whole summer, starting at 7:45 and ending at 21:45 plus or minus a few minutes. One of the summers when it did that had a one-day break on which we got a hurricane warning instead.
In my case, the sun is back to Barcelona, but our clients have decided that we’ve been around long enough to be put in a cave, which evidently is where subcontractors belong. Whenever we leave our office there is a chorus of “pings” as our phones achieve reception, and one of “oh wow, it IS out!” when we see the shiny thing in the sky. We’ve asked for permission to put up posters or something but we’re told it “would damage corporate image” (
ok… can we put up company ads? just some which are not close-ups, ok, a bit of distance); I’m thinking of asking to WFH on Fridays (which are halfdays anyway and we don’t usually have meetings) as a mental health measure.
Snowed in New York today. Sun back and into the '40s tomorrow, so snow go bye-bye.
I would rather be in Barcelona, though.
Well, I’m late - but here is another song for you.
It’s not just lack of sun, it’s the fucking lake effect snow. And that’s in addition to regular snow. But the good news: It’s February now, and spring is next month (by the calendar, if not the weather).
There’s a good thick haar here today.
Somewhat deceptively optimistic: winter only officially started 42 days ago, whereas spring is still 48 days away. Not even at the half-way point of the season.
Fuck the sun, what about the shortstops?
I can see sunlight now. I checked the local weather data site, the last time was November 15th, about 12 weeks ago.
And now, four months later it continues. I live in Montreal and, I’m trying not to exaggerate here, I don’t think that we’ve had more than a week or two of sun scattered over those four months. It’s also been raining (gut feel here) about 60 percent of my waking hours.
It is bloody depressing.
