I tend to be controlled by the amount of sun there is, if it's dark, I get tired, when it's light out, I wake up, so that would be nice in the summer but awful in the winter months!

Are there many people up there? I thought I remembered hearing somewhere that 80% of Canada's population lives within 200 miles or so of the US border (because it's further south and less cold!).

Sorry to hear about the drilling- I hope you find something pretty soon.
I love the cold. I love winter in general as my allergies disappear with the snow! The dogs are also much happier in the cold temps. The dark was hard to get used to. I have a daylight therapy lamp that I use every day in the winter months. It helps alot.

There are about 30, 000 people in the Yukon, the vast majority of them live in Whitehorse. It's a highly transient population. Lots of people come up for the summers and leave; I know lots of people who moved up here intending to stay, made one winter and left as soon as they could. Most people either love it or hate it here immediately and never change their opinion!
