Right. It doesn't seem fair that NW Europe gets all the benefit of the Gulf Stream, which just waves at us as it zips north. The winter I was in Stavanger, Norway, it only got down to 0C just one night between New Year's and mid-February. Here at home there were 2 blizzards and nightime temperatures around -10C, in spite of being nearly 15 degrees further south. AND on the coast. Back to the sun question, it seems that northern sun, even in winter, *is* 'thinner'. However, all the more reason to locate a garden where it gets every bit that's available. |
