The light is different in February- sometimes brighter but on some days it is translucent. We had a warm spell at the end of January and the light seemed differnt and thank god longer in the day and I felt as though this winter and perhaps all winters for me was a long tunnel. In December when it gets dark at 4:30 and it's bitter cold, it's the middle of the tunnel and you can't see light on either end just a dull electric light that casts a dirty yellow glow. We haven't come out of the tunnel yet but now I can see bright light ahead. I can imagine the snow turning to stubby grass and the first shoots of daffodils emerging.

The Tunnel
The light is different in February- sometimes brighter but on some days it is translucent.
