We could use the sun up here, too. Especially as clear sky tends to drop the temperature slightly. We've been right on the line of freezing-and-melting for the whole time the clouds have been about. This means slush in day, and fresh ice on the streets at night. A solid freeze that stays frozen is a vast improvement for walking and driving.

(And for me personally, my winter boots are no longer waterproof, and not in a way that can be fixed with a spray, so they're ONLY good when the temperature drops a bit more. Rrrr.)
