-4 feels like -13, not too windy today & sunny; haven't seen the sunshine in many, many days

[rock lobster]

I didn't see sunshine for 52 days from Nov.1 to Dec. 22 one year.
That's when I decided to move to Florida even if I had to
live in a grass hut on the beach.
Yep.

I feel for you. If i go a longtime without seeing the sun in winter it really starts to get to me. We had some sun today, but the windchill and blowing snow was brutal, so I could only enjoy the sun through my windows
