The midnight sun...

[Laura's Babies]

Wow! What an adjustment that would be for us southerners... 24 hour daylight? WOW! Do you tell the kids they can play outside until dark like we do? (some southern humor here.....)

I went wild when I saw the tread titled "The Midnight Sun".

I am so fortunate that someone took pictures of this for me to see!!!

I can't imagine living without " night", "darkness". Wild. !!!

The pictures you posted "took" me there!!!! At last, I saw what life is like without darkness!!!!! Thank-you!!!!!!

How much daylight would you get in the middle of winter?

Obviously you have no use for daylight saving up there! We don't need it here either but it's forced on us.

We get the opposite in the winter. In December & January, we get about four hours a day of light, but it's pretty dim light. The sun stays very low in the sky and you don't need sunglasses at all!

We still have to do daylight savings time too!

This is so interesting. You must be very flexible (or well conditioned) to fare well with such extremes. Did you adapt readily or did it take some time to adjust?

I would love to spend some time up there, maybe a year or two to experiance it. I'm not too sure that I could handle that all the time but it would be very neat to see.

The dark was much harder for me to adjust to. I moved here in January--not a good time of year to move up here, especially when you don't know a soul and your hubby can't come for four months! That first winter was not fun! I bought a daylight lamp before my second winter here. It helps alot. I use it every morning in the dim months for about 20 minutes.
