Low-altitude, high-latitude cloudy climates.

I hear a lot of people "allergic" to the sun like Prince Rupert, British Columbia. It's pretty close to southern, coastal Alaska.

Minneapolis does not get a lot of sun. As stated, try the Pacific Northwest (Seattle, Portland, Olympia) it's not nearly as cold as Minneapolis.

Avoid Denver. You can get burned here even in the winter, and not many overcast days.

Minneapolis gets plenty of sun. There is only 2 months of the year where sun percentage is lower than 50%. Sun percentage in Minneapolis is as follows:

Weatherbase: Historical Weather for Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States of America
Jan: 53%
Feb: 59%
Mar: 57%
Apr: 58%
May: 61%
Jun: 65%
Jul: 72%
Aug: 69%
Sep: 62%
Oct: 55%
Nov: 39%
Dec: 42%

Thats actually a really decent amount of sunshine! Id recommend the OP head to a place like Seatte or Vancouver, where sunshine % is about as low as it gets.
