It rains more around here in the winter. It’s colder too, and snow is not only a possibility (like it used to be), it has been a much more common white reality in these parts the last few years. There is no shortage of differences to be found between summer and winter, but for me, the biggest single variant is the quantity of daylight. Get up in the dark, come home in the dark… if it weren’t for artificial light, we’d all sleep 16 hours a day. We are headed smack into the darkest part of the year… take your vitamins.
