I do. Grew up in NY/NJ and had it every year. Now, despite my outdated screen name, I live in Florida. I could never live in a state that is gray half the year again.
I was born and raised in Florida. Lived in Georgia and Texas, but when I got to Ohio, this hit me. I love the Midwest cause of the folks here are genuine and sincere, not merely polite. However, when we get our first cold snap, I have a day or two of doldrums.
Years ago, someone remarked why is it that I turn on every light in the house? I told them I need a lot of light, and most houses in the Midwest are dark and depressing to me, and they are. We decided that I was like a plant. You know how some things grow in the shade, semi-shade, or full sun? Well, I am a full sun person. I need light, and I like color, too. Grays don’t soothe me, they depress me.
After 35+ years in the Midwest, I am seriously considering moving further south for retirement.
Living in the near upper midwest it is difficult to get out of the house/job during winter months even if the sun is shinning...
