How much sunny days do you want in winter (climate, snowfall, warm)

[klimkin199]

I like cold, but relatively sunny and dry winters. I'm interested how much forumers think like me.

[Eman Resu VIII]

I like sunny winters (which are also mild and dry) so I say 70 or so.

If it's not snowing, then I want sun! (SAD sufferer, here).

[deneb78]

As many as possible. I love sunshine

[Isleofpalms85]

Not a fan of the cold and snow and I never really have been. I would like warmer temperatures and more sunshine during winter than what central Indiana typically gets.

5-10 sunny days between Dec 1 and March 1.

My ideal winter would be quite a bit above the Arctic circle, so it can't get much sun. When the sun does appear, it would ideally be at a very low angle and obscured by heavy ice fog and/or blowing snow (which means it wouldn't be counted as a proper sunny day).

At my latitude, the winter sun is very low and easily dazzles me, especially since i have quite sensitive eyes (I wear sunglasses most days that are sunny enough to tell where the sun is), so I wouldn't want too many, around 30-40 would be good. Considering that my ideal climate is most likely to occur around 30-35 degrees, I would favour a lot more sunny days than that, however.

Most everyday in the winters now are all sunny. Not like the 1980's when we had real winters. 5 days a month of sun is fine with me.

Nashville has winters about as grey as I'll tolerate, and they're less than what most people would consider grey. So no amount of winter sun could make even a milder mid-latitude climate favorable, as the low sun angle, low UV index and short days all catch up to my mind easily and make winters depressing even here.

However, even sunnier winters like in Oklahoma City, further south like in Atlanta or better yet both like in Dallas would be better, perhaps even not all that depressing (Dallas probably wouldn't be depressing at all). I'd even gladly take the extreme sun of somewhere like Yuma or the tropics if it's not a bad climate.

In a way, I'm the opposite of klimkin199. They're a "UV and heat hater" with a preference for monsoon climates, while I'm a "low-sun and cold hater" that absolutely despises monsoon precipitation patterns.

I like cold, snowy winters. Twice a week sunny days, the rest partly cloudy to overcast. Snowfall at least 2-3 times a week.
