and in upper British Columbia, light until almost midnight... :-)

So that would mean that in December/January they get about 3 hours of daylight a day.Yikes!

You were saying ...

I haven't been up there during that time of the year, but yes, I suppose so. The closer you get to the Arctic Circle, then the less hours of sunlight, during the day, in the wintertime.

When you are on the Arctic Circle, during the winter, then you should just see a little light brightening up the sky (and maybe barely a sun) and then it goes away again, almost immediately.... LOL...

British Columbia is pretty far north and likewise, up in Oregon with Daylight extended so far into the evening, it's fairly far north, too. I know that Oregon has one hour longer of a day than Oklahoma does, during the summer, because of how far north it is.
