Default Getting ready for winter

My God! only 8 hours of daylight!

Can you imagine living even farther north?

A swedish girl I dated told me she would walk home from
parties at 3am and the sun would just be going down in the
summer. They must only a very few hours of daylight
during the winter. I'd go insane. It is no wonder they all
head south when they can.
