I just heard on the news that for the first time since November the sun came came out for a grand total of ~43 minutes. The location?  Barrow, Alaska.

Uh, here in Cleveland, I think I saw the sun back in September once. Cloudy here till mid-May at least, or until Lake Erie freezes over.

Sunny and hit 40 today.  Needed it to get rid of all the ice from yesterday/last night's freezing rain.
