Long dark. I bought a sun lamp

You're supposed to spend an hour next to it each morning. Don't look at the light, read a newspaper, do chores etc. I feel it does tickle my brain. I had the choice between this and the ceramic metal halide and this is safer / cooler and uses less electricity. I would actually rather have the CMH because you can feel warmth from it and it slowly ramps up so it feels like there is a sunrise happening. That'll be next.

Of course in my exact location, there is a significant change in the time of daylight. I live in a deep narrow valley(1) with mountains (to exaggerate a little(2)) on both sides. In summer, sunlight is from one end of this valley to the other. In winter, it is from over one mountain and down over the other. This sort of emulates what is happening in more northern regions - fortunately, not seriously. (1) This valley exists because a fault line runs from one end to the other, but it's small, and been dormant for a few million years or so, unlike up in Washington, where it's very big, and on a 300 year cycle that's past due. A good thing about this area is that it's all rotten granite, and I mean really rotten, you can kick it apart with your boots. This doesn't propagate earthquake shocks very well at all. (2) Actually, compared to the Appalachians. these are "mountains", but compared to what we call "mountains" out here, not so much.

The Pacific Plate shoved the whole thing down under the North American Plate - except a fragment along the Pacific Northwest - which is still being shoved under. As that former continent is shoved under, it causes the land to bulge up to the east. When it finally releases, the land slides west and drops. This action causes a very major tsunami, affecting the coast from Vancouver Island to the northern border of California. Geologists have determined these slippages happen on average every 300 years. It is now 321 years since the last one. The tsunami could hit this afternoon, or 150 years from now, we do not know. What we do know is that it will happen. Geologists expect that pretty much everything west of the I5 will be wiped. Edited by Andrew Grygus Oct. 11, 2021, 01:34:49 PM EDT Expand All History

You're literally right on the spot they use for making cross-sections to show how incredibly screwed that region is in the next quake. :-/ https://www.seismescanada.rncan.gc.ca/pprs-pprp/pubs/GF-GI/GEOFACT_ETS_e.pdf Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
