A Grey November Day

Today has morphed from a nice sunny day into a typical grey November day. November is my least favorite month because the days seem to drag due to the cloudiness, and of course tonight's sunset is at 4:55pm, which doesn't help any. This is a perfect day to enjoy my Happy Lamp-which I have on right now. I find it picks up my mood. I cannot remember how long these pre-winter long days felt before I got that Happy Lamp. Do you have a particular time of the year where it is darker and less sunny in your area?

Have the same days as you. I knew I would be outside today but might get my light cleaned up for tomorrow. I haven't got it out yet this year

@Juliaacv We had those nice days when I was able to get out yet. But those are getting fewer

I hate the long, dark nights, and I always start getting anxious as US Thanksgiving approaches and I know the Christmas season is just behind; it's sometimes so haaard,

I'm sorry that Christmas time is still so very difficult for you.

That is such a cool picture. November is my favorite. It is my birth month, and I feel that Scorpio current most. Glad you have that Happy Lamp. A lot of people use them. It has been very dark some nights. I don't turn my light on in my room and it is black in here sometimes this time of year.

Happy birthday month to you! I love October, it has nice days and alot of sunshine and the changing colours of the leaves is so beautiful. Already the leaves have fallen though.

We had lake affect snow this morning but it did melt. Now it’s just cold and gray. Glad that the lamp helps you.

They've been calling for snow for the past week to come today. Sarnia, which is only about 45 minutes from us, is on the radar to get some. Its too mild here right now for snow, unless this is the calm before the storm.

The happy lamp part got me, i never thought about how long those pre-winter days drag until you said it... sunset at 4:55 sounds rough fr. My neighbor swears by hers too, gonna try one, bet it helps.

I find that the happy lamp does wonders for me personally. I actually haven't met anyone who has one that doesn't love using theirs either-definitely worth the investment.

Here in the South the sun can break out any time. It's sunny today. I would say the winter months are probably grayer than average though

November is always so grey here. But it is somewhat calm and cool, but not cold. I would take this weather for a while, minus the lack of sun. We haven't had the furnace on in days and it is 24C in here, which is nice.

Ugh, a whole rainy day, here we will have a rainy night. But cold rainy nights don't make for as good a sleeping time as warm rainy nights do.
