    I dont care what the researchers say...............I know that when we have extended periods of cloudiness I am just not my typical self. There is no way in the world I could live in Seattle even though I would enjoy the moderate temps.

    Take a look at the addiction stats for people who live in areas with little or no sunshine for extended periods of time.

    Sunshine means clean house, good mood Grey means YUKKKKK I have been that way my entire life.

    That was my reasoning for moving back to Wisconsin from Orlando
    Sure I love the seasons, but I am getting sick of the cold and snow
    That and I don't speak Spanish
    I guess I am getting old and moody

    Weather definitely affects my moods. If it's cloudy, rainy, or cold, I don't want to do much but vegg out. If it's sunny and warm, I have more energy and motivation.

    Yes I believe it does, but even more so when there's nothing to counter the weather...I know when I'm driving I always feel more optimistic when the sky is blue and the suns out...
