Weather got you down?

So I'm checking the local weather on Channel 4's website to see how freakin' cold its getting tonight.  As I'm quickly ticked off at the minus sign in front of the number, I noticed that they have a box with the current weather of the North Pole (true story):

Temperature: - 35 degrees (ouch!)
Wind Chill: - 50 degrees (just so you know at -75 below your spit will freeze before it hits the ground)
Dew Point: - 40 degrees (wouldn't that be called the "frost" point at that temp?)
Humidity: 70% (its not already uncomfortable, it has to be humid and sticky too?)

And this was the best part..................

Sunrise: 11:59 pm
Sunset: 12:01 am

Yes, that's right folks - that's only TWO minutes of daylight.  And I thought we had short days.   And to make it worse, the two minutes of daylight are at midnight.  You can't even enjoy it.  Talk about depressing.  You'd think Santa would try to get out of town more than once a year.  Geesh!
