@neph93 do you find you have to supplement vitamin D up there or are you getting so much cold water fish it comes naturally?
In Minneapolis that stuff helped with my seasonal affective disorder in winter. I embrace the cold, but short and overcast days get to me.
I have done. Not every year though. We do eat a lot of fish, so maybe that helps, but vitamin D is a good thing without a doubt. I have a lot more melanin than the average Norwegian too, meaning I definitely should use it more than I do.

I’m on day 8 or 9 of grey/overcast sky’s and am definitely feeling it. It gets light around 7:20 am and it’s dark at 5:00 pm and quite honestly, I really dislike this time of year…
I find I really have to get out during midday for a walk, run, anything to keep my spirits up…
Once there is snow on the ground I manage to deal a little better due to the reflectivity of the snow, but right now it’s tough.
My hat’s off to Reuben and I don’t think I would be able to handle it…although the summer I don’t think I would sleep.

I should note that’s how my wife, a professional event logistician and expert caterer, says it, so I can deal, even if I wince when I hear it. It’s quite common. It would be like pronouncing “bolognese” Bo Lo niece.
Now let’s talk about “realtor” being mispronounced real it or. That one is nearly ubiquitous in America it seems

I suspect much of the reason for our linguistic divergence is simple pettiness. For “aluminum/aluminium” IIRC the scientist with the naming rights couldn’t make up his mind and each of us settled on a different version.
I say we should have just gone with “alumium” and called it a day
