Re:Dreading a dark winter lockdown? Think like a Norwegian by mikestew on Monday September 28, 2020 @12:45PM (#24618578)
Meh, you could go months without seeing sunlight, but you'd have to work at it. The PNW is the area of the country that introduced me to the phrase "sun breaks". It might not last long, but certainly within the span of a month one will have the opportunity to view direct sunlight.

For me, the key thing to living somewhere with dark winters is to get outside regularly. That's how to catch a "sun break" once in a while. Live in the rainy PNW? Gortex was invented over 50 years ago. Pricey, but it works. Even running in the dark, pissing rain at 5:30 a. m. is better than sitting inside all day, IMO. But, hey, we all WFH now, right? Go run when the sun's up.

And if the outdoors ain't your thing, it's probably time for the annual round of corncob light rigs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21660718
