It’s cold. It’s dark. It’s already been considerably cold and dark for 5-6 weeks now, and there’s probably another two months of cold and dark coming our way after today.

Or because of the latter, if you’re Alex Jones . More than three-quarters of residents of colder climates quizzed in a poll said the low amount of daylight at this time had a negative effect on their mood. Almost the same number said they found it harder to get motivated during the long, hard winter months; up to 87 percent of Northeast residents are affected.
