The day's length has grown by 1 h 23 min.

[Coolville]

Living in Scandinavia, the length of the days is a vital yardstick throughout the year.

Living at just above 55*N, the difference between the shortest day of the year and the longest is almost 9 hours.

Since December 21, the day has grown by 1 hour 23 minutes.

Spring is on the way. It isn't even dark when I go home from work!

Even though the weather here is about the same as Seattle, the long dark days are frustrating. But those three little extra minutes of daylight each day are a fantastic motivation.

Makes me look forward to summer when there is only 3-4 hours of darkness and you drink beer on the beach in the light of the sunset at 10:30 in the evening.

That would drive me nuts! How can you stand that? Here in Arizona we don't even go on Daylight Savings Time, thank God! There is only a matter of a few hours difference from out longest day to our shortest here. I like it that way!

It is pretty similar to North Scotland - in the Summer it is great - you can play golf after work - get 18 holes in and it is still light till about 10'ish

whereas in winter - fuck it is dark at 3.30pm - nothing more depressing as looking out of office window and it is pitch black at 4 in the afternoon

no wonder we drink so much in the winter - nothing to do except go to the pub

It makes you appreciate spring and summer so much more. You can read a wonderful description of it in Anna Karenina.

There is nothing like a Scandnavian spring. When the days grow longer and the weather warms up, you can feel the electricity in the air. People change. Everyone becomes energetic and flirting with strangers reaches a peak.

Summer is amazing, too. But it is just beaches and beer. Spring is the great transitional period.

YEah mate. I was in Iceland during the winter once. Eating breakfast at the hotel at 1030 in the morning and it was pitch fucking black outside.

It's not THAT bad here in CPH. But stilll a good reason to crawl under the duvees!!

Yeah, but that was Edvard Munch's fucked up head, not the weather.

But he is famous for his paintings of the sun in the summer in Norway.

*Mental note to self: Visit Coolville in spring....he's more energetic.

 

[SINthysist]

Yeah, but note, sex stops at flirting...

Gotta start getting ready for winter you know!
