It's very unusual for Ohio in Winter.

It's mostly the typical "overcast blah" around here, though. Gray sky from horizon to horizon, so overcast that even cloud details can't be seen.

I watched an episode of "Alone" (History Channel) recently, a survival show/contest filmed in Patagonia this season. One of the contestants was crying about the lack of direct sunlight he was getting at his site. He wasted calories climbing the mountain behind him just to get direct sunshine! Wow. Try living in Ohio, dude.
