sheesh. This thread is depressing. As if we needed more reminders how truly insane many of us truly are... None of us, I hasten to add. :)

Donuel: Is it daylight nearly all day there now?
I am in southeastern Alaska (fondly known simply as 'Southeast') so we don't get as much daylight as they do farther north. At our lightest, we get a bit more than 18 hours a day. However, no one seems to mention that a couple of hours this side of day and a couple of hours on that side of dark, it isn't really dark. We seldom see stars at all from early June until early August; the sky is too light.

It is for that reason that I have seen Northern Lights here in every month except for June and July. The sky is simply too light.
