Saw this on Mastodon and had a laugh. Not sure if it's real, but it's funny.

Sounds similar to anything from Paris and above in Western Europe, just maybe a few less degrees.

The dark is the difference. Sunrise was at 8.00 today and sunset was at 15.45.

Basically if you work 8-16 you don’t see the sun until springtime… 🫠

When I moved to Portland, they told me it's not the cold that gets you, it's the darkness.

Not too different from New England!

Except we still have 10 hours of sun for the next couple weeks and we’ve had a severe drought. Today was the first significant rain in over a month. More like 6 weeks.

I'm a degree (or less) south of Helsinki, 10 hours of sun sounds like a ton this time of the year. We'll be down to 6 or 6.5 by mid December and Finland will have even less

It depends. You can get -20°C in November too. But yeah, mostly it's just miserable and far more so than in central Europe.

Different darkness. Once worked 0830 to 1600 daily in a dark lab. Didn't see the sun for about a month in November.
