I don't see light for most of late morning and afternoon. Why would I want a dark evening, too?
Because you're inside?
I'd rather have light in the morning than during the evening. During the winter I usually have no reason to be out during the evening, so it doesn't matter. But I have always preferred dark evenings. It doesn't feel right to be sunny after 5PM, IMO.

Is it psychological for you?
Would your really be happy to see no daylight on days you don't go outside? It's annoying to go home in the dark and my afternoons are often "dark" because I'm inside and I'm in a place with no windows. And when it's not winter, it's nice to have the option to go outside after 5 pm or even after dinner. I see no reason why I'd want night except when I go to sleep.

Wouldn't matter to me personally. There isn't much to do during the evening in the winter other than indoor activites (dinner, tv, reading, etc). I can handle being in a windowless area for several hours (schools and hospitals come to mind), but it doesn't happen often, so I can't relate.
It's mostly dependent on lifestyle. Is there night skiing nearby? One way to avoid the winter blues is by going outside no matter what. There's a ski resort in my town, so many people go skiing after work or school.
Thanks for the link. 1963 was certainly a cold year. there must have been a lot of ice in harbors, estuaries etc.
I don't remember it obviously but from what I've read it sounded pretty apocalyptic despite being pretty tame stuff by global standards (Dec average = 1.8C, Jan = -2.1C, Feb = -0.7C) it's interesting how even then our transport/power infrastructure couldn't cope at all, and neither could our agriculture/sporting calendar. There was ice in unlikely places like the south coasts and off the coast of Liverpool. The river Thames froze at Windsor, west of London, and would have frozen in London if there weren't embankments put in to make that nearly impossible. Here's an interesting account of it I've just found: The Winter of 1963
It got up to 80 today but I'm happy because it'll be dipping into the teen's this week, with good chances of snow.
