Maybe I’m weird but I’ve always liked the early sunsets. The long evenings can be cozy. On the flip side I’ve always enjoyed the super late sunsets on the opposite side of the year too. I enjoy dynamism when it comes to daylight length throughout the year. To me it would be strange living at a lower latitude where daylight length and sun angle are more uniform year round. I realize this is just personal preference though.
I prefer Feb - April to Nov - Jan. Sure I love snow and the core of winter is when we’re most likely to get it. But it rarely happens, more often just gray. Starting in February the days start getting noticeably longer and the weather is more variable. Overall more enjoyable to me.
Humans biologically need sunshine/UV light to survive. In the summer this isn’t a problem because there is ample sunshine. However in the winter this is a problem for some areas. The solution that Mother Nature they gave us is snow. There is a reason why 99% of people like snow and there is a biological explanation for this. In the winter there is less UV light due to clouds and less daylight. So in order to maximize the UV light we get from the sun we need snow since it can reflect around 80% of the UV rays. That’s the reason why they say to wear sun screen when going skiing or snowboarding. You can get more sun when you have snow than at the beach. So if you are ever feeling down during the winter go up to the and get some .
