Default Getting ready for winter

Yellowknife in Dec/Jan ...sunrise at 1100hrs and sunset at 1400hrs. The sun
just skirts the southern horizon. They call it "cabin fever" by February.

Yellowknife in June/July.... walk out of the bar at 0200hrs and realize you
are hammered drunk in broad daylight... again.

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.
