In 82 days from December 1st until late February, Tallinn recorded 49 hours and inland locations like Viljandi as low as 35 hours as well. December alone was below ten hours in most places. Winter is normally very cloudy here but that's just ridiculous. March is now really making up for it though.
That is nearly unbelievable on all accounts. I knew the baltic has a hellish climate, but seriously WOW
Yes. Extremely depressed. Every year it gets worse. It is horrible and I have to fight the depression and overwhelming sadness every day. And it's not just sunlight that gets to me, its the frigid cold. Today it is 35F and sunny and I have to fight the urge to hop in the car and drive south. It snowed all day yesterday.
Nothing works anymore, exercise, lights, nothing. It is absolutely terrible. Vacation helps until its time to come home. I am at the point where I am not sure the feeling will go away when the weather turns, but I have to remember it does every year. Just hang in there and it will pass. And avoid my friends and family until it does cause I hate being such a miserable downer.
Northern NY near Canada. Today we have a foretasted high of 45F, but I don't believe it. Yesterday it was supposed to be 44F but our thermometer topped off at 38. Forecasted low of 27F today. Tomorrow its showing 59F (yay) and 28F for a low. For the rest of the week highs in the 50s, which are going to feel like heaven!!!

I'l tell you what I told the poster from Sask. If you haven't done so already, replace all the lightbulbs in your house with 6500K color temp CFL bulbs that run at least 26w. 6500K is the color temp of noon time sun and I think SAD bulbs run that color temp. I have the GE mini spiral bulbs I got from Walmart and they only use 26w apiece. That would probably help better than moving to Florida like every New Yorker and their cousin does
Today's weather's making me bored and irritable. Freezing cold with boring insipid drizzle. A really dark dull day from hell.
Being in England throughout all of winter the last time, I found out I have a very high resistance to low sunshine hours. The only thing that gets me after a while is the drizzle, ironically. It could be cloudy for more than half the year and it wouldn't bother me, but that damn drizzle

Read your post above and realized you were talking about. Will be purchasing what you've suggested.

In southeast England where I stayed at, during the dead of winter it drizzles usually several days a week. If it isn't drizzling, the sky is completely or mostly overcast
