Doesn't help that I live too far north that it's just always dark or cloudy
I wake up and it could be any time of the day until I check my clock
I actually pine for that type of environment though I suspect it gets dreary after awhile.
Winter can be if the weather stays warm and wet. For me if there's snow on the ground it's fine. With a full moon it almost feels like daytime.
The summers are incredible though! You do need to invest in blackout shades.
I live in California where it's almost always sunny except recently. It gets hard for me because I love grey weather and snow and stuff. I can always go up the mountain for the snow but I want to be trapped in my home for a week or something due to snow I just romanticize that sort of thing.
I think i understand you're making hyperbole but i can say 5ft of snow in two weeks was pretty easy to manage and i was never stuck. Just had to clear the walkway/driveway on the daily for a bit. That and i was being a cheap-ass and doing it myself with a hand-held electric blower instead of paying for a plow like the rest of the neighborhood.
It was definitely a lot of work back before when i just had a shovel. 125m(400ft) is a lot of ground to cover.
A touch more than dreary if you ask me. We’re just mobile plants, turns out, after months without the sun, your body just like… doesn’t do as well. You get more easily depressed, sleep changes, and even diet problems tend to creep in.
