Harsh cold and lots of dark! Brrrrrrr!!! Not fun. Do you live in Europe? I was amazed the first time I went through a European winter! The sun goes down about three o'clock in the afternoon and rises at 10! And it's freezing! (This was Paris.) And even between 10 and 3 you don't get real sunlight, you get this smoky, pale, 20-watt bulb, imitation light. Lord! I spent all the time drinking just because of the cold and darkness. No wonder classical poetry celebrates springtime so much! All those writers came from Europe!
