Blue J Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I wonder if it works the same way for people who don't really care for sunshine too much, but love clouds, rain, snow, storms. That's me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Here. I found the article and will type out parts of it: Many people get the blues as winter sets in. But a small minority of people actually cheer up during winter. People with summer "seasonal affective disorder," about 0.7% of the population, become depressed between May and September and experience agitation, insomnia, decreased appetite and weight loss, says Norman Rosenthal, a professor of psychiatry at Georgetown University Medical School and co-author of a widely cited 1989 study on seasonal mood changes.

I actually have winter seasonal affective disorder, but the benefits, for me, outweigh the depression as far as weather goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's me. This is me: my perfect day is 55-60 degrees and cloudy. Rain is welcome, as long as it's not too oppressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushCanuck Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 The wind blew from the north and the temperature was near freezing today. As the wind crossed Lake Huron, it picked up moisture. When it hit land, it came down as snow with white out conditions over a narrow stretch of a major highway to the west of London. There were many car accidents and a tractor trailer did not fare well either. The police scolded the drivers because people did not adjust their driving to match the treacherous conditions. It's that time of the year again when stories like this will be common in this neck of the woods. :sigh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow they think that having four wheel drive and studded snows will save them. Edited November 9, 2014 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what that means but retiring somewhere in the Carolinas must look pretty good right about now.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushBoingo Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Update from Brandon Manitoba, still no snow as we approach mid-November and loving it. We have been reaching negatives every evening now, but yesterday we were supposed to get snow, but a sudden wind change diverted it, and now no more precipitation is called for a least another week. WOOHOO! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutman Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 We have only gotten a bit of snow and that was about a month ago. No snow in the the near future. It feels like spring outside! :dweez: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The freezing cold temps arrive tonight. Wouldn't be so bad, but they will be accompanied by high northeast winds. Â Maybe this will be it for the winter. That sometimes happens out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 8-12" possible Sun through Tue here in Minnesota. Our weather-prediction people are assholes. I don't think a single snowflake fell while I was going to or coming from work. It's ridiculous how inaccurate the forecasts of apocalypse were. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Incredibly beautiful day today. Balmy and sunny. It was at least 75 I would guess. Its all about to change apparently tomorrow. Highs in the 50's and lows around 40 for a while at least.... Edited November 13, 2014 by Narpski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
