I have lived in this area for approximately 57 of my 59 years. Anyone who claims that there was only one day of sunshine out of any contiguous block of 365 days, is either a liar or is mentally ill. That includes you, your brother, the Pope. It is simply factually untrue.
Cold, gray, miserable? Worst climate in North America? Won’t argue, if that’s your opinion. Everyone’s entitled.
One day of sunshine in a year? You are full of sh*t. Period. And, to quote you:
Everybody knows it.
I believe it was 1971 or 1972.
I seriously doubt there’s any place in the 57 U.S. states that has only one day of sunshine per year.
