Do you mind days that are dark and cloudy?

I have always like them. It's a good thing ,because my state is the 3rd in the nation for cloudy days

I understand there are people who don't do well ,with a lack of sun. But I always love a sky full of clouds. Bright sunny days aren't my cup of tea.

I don't like them at all. We are having a very blah day today. It was cold when I woke up and it's cloudy and now raining.

I don't mind those days on the weekend because they are good for either lying around and doing nothing or it motivates me to clean my house. LOL

But I really don't like cloudy, yucky days I have to get up and go to work.

Good grief, I could not live in a place that is cloudy all the time, anymore! I find it depressing. An occasional rainy day is nice to get things done around the house, but often cloudy and dark?? YUCK!

I love them because we so seldom have them. On the odd chance that we have a few cloudy days in a row however, I'm ready for that beautiful sunshine again.

I miss those kind of days !! I live in Ca and am so sick of sunshine. I grew up in Ohio and really miss cloudy days and the thunderstorms we used to get. It gets so hot where i live we don't go out much until evening. not much fun staying iside all day, especially for my dogs.

Our rain season is coming to an end and I am enjoying the return of bright sunny days in Fl.

My Aunt was the same way as you. She lived in Ohio and also moved to Ca. She used to say the Da-- sunshine, and everyone would laugh

I HATE dark and cloudy and I'm adding---rainy too. That is all we get here in WA state during most the year. I sit under a "happy" light at my computer as that kind of weather depresses me. We are talking weeks on end of constant grey and rain. Would move to warm and sunny in a hearbeat if I could.

No, they're a nice change of pace from the usual where I am and I generally like them. They say "fall" to me and I find them somehow comforting, maybe because I associate them with warm and cozy fall things.

I will say, they're weird while I'm at the office, though. I work in a huge complex with many buildings connected by long windowed hallways. Where I sit, I am bathed in fluorescent light all day and have no idea of it's light or dark outside. When I walk to the cafeteria, I go through the long, windowed corridor and it's very dark The cafeteria is a multi-story open floor plan with huge windows looking out into a large open space with grass, trees, and a winding water feature. It's usually very beautiful, but when I come out of the fluorescent lights and look from inside to out on a very dark day, it looks like like a scene from a horror movie, where the darkness suddenly absorbs the whole town.

Since I am a winter girl, which is hard here in Texas I love them. Woke up this morning to sun but 56º outside. Love rainy cloudy days especially on the week-ends so I can curl up with a book and blanket on my couch. Work days are nice to when they come but cannot enjoy the cuddly feeling so much. 10 floors up offers good view on Tornado type days.

I don't mind them once in a while, but I love Sunshine. Our Winters in Wisconsin are tough, and many days can be dark and gloomy, those days when they are few and far between can be nice for just lounging around the house, or getting projects finished.... I personally love the sunshine, even in the winter months if it is Sunny it doesn't seem so bad!!!!!!

I don't mind them, but I love rainy days! The sound of a soft rain is comforting to me!

For some reason I like days where I have to turn a lamp or two on, for some reason I find it comforting!

A time to curl up with a good book, maybe read every word in the paper and have a great cup of coffee. Or even better, take a nap with my cats! Weird I know!

I love it, I'm so sick of the heat and sun. We had some nice cloud cover and rain over the weekend but it's back to sun and warm for now.

When you live in Florida it is sunny day after day after day after day. A nice stormy, cloudy day is a pleasant break. However, we snowbird so we aren't there for the 4 months of summer when they get a lot more rainy days.

Love cloudy, rainy dark days. We have nothing but sunshine day after day and it gets old so whenever the weather changes it makes the news and people are in a good mood.

I love overcast days...throw in some light rain and I am so happy....I am not a sun person...and I am certainly not a hot humid day...give me those clouds...I'll take as many as you give me...

I hate cold, dark, cloudy days. I've noticed that I seem to feel my best when I get some daily sun.

I don't like them, not even for a day.

My sister loved a rainy, dreary Sunday. She would stay in her pj's with the newspapers all around her and black and white movies on tv all day or an I Love Lucy marathon.
