I once did that in a conversation with Mikaela here about which city had worse light in winter, Minneapolis or Oslo. For the record, Oslo is far darker. Today, for example, Oslo's sunrise is at 9:19 AM and sunset is 3:13 PM, for a total of 5 hours, 54 minutes (about three hours less than Minneapolis).

Did that make you feel any better to learn that?

Well, it makes me feel less envious of Scandinavians, though in almost every other way it does seem like it would be a great place to live.
I was talking to a coworker who lived in Iceland for a year. In the middle of winter, daylight was the sun rolling along the horizon for a few hours. In the summer, they'd come out of the bars at 2 a.m. to bright shining sun. I don't think I would like either one.

I'd have to agree, that would drive me nuts!
