    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.

    And I thought we had a lot of sun here! At least we have a night time! I actually think I'd do ok with 20 hours of daylight, but I think 20 hours of darkness would drive me nuts! One of my best friends is from Alaska and she loves to tell me crazy stories about living up there. I like hearing about all the strange foods like eskimo ice cream and stink flipper.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!
