while living in the Netherlands for 15 years, when the sun didn't get above 30 degrees above the horizon, and didn't even show until 9:30 in the am, and it was pitch dark by 4:00pm in the winter, the light box, and a daily walk at noon, no matter what the weather, even if it was liquid sunshine, were my lifesavers. The change in the light intensity is important, so even if it cloudy, you will still benefit indirectly on a hormonal andemotional level, plus fresh air is always a plus. There is definitely something emotionally bracing about walking in a 35 degree pouring rain and howling gale, floolwed by a warm shower and a hot fresh cup of coffee. Hope the light box helps.
