I'm sure in my youth, we had more definite seasons but it's more akin 9 months winter, 3 months bad weather lately. We do get snow on the mountains so skiing is an option (only 45 miles to go from snowless sea to snowy mountains from my area). There are a few seasonal outdoor rinks dotted round Scotland.
I can't recall when we last had a decent white Christmas! It feels very wrong when we do get a dry sunny Christmas day!
I can remember years, when it finally snowed on Christmas Eve... That meant Santas sleigh could travel.
But a brown Christmas? I have no recollection.
A friend in sunny California often sends me pics from home in the desert, that are funny looking to me.
I can't imagine their warm winters or limited seasonal changes. Plus the summer heat would not appeal to me...
Yes, it gets dark around 10:00pm in the summer here, but the sun sets much earlier in winter months. With the short days, it often stays dim, all day, especially with the cloud cover...
I have lived here pretty much my whole life, and am still not used to double negative digits on the thermometer. Funny thing is, when it reaches -40* C it's also -40* F. At that temperature even the mercury don't care anymore... Ha
Lume Cubes are awesome, with so many settings, and multiple strobe and power setting modes, the variety of light is amazing, to me. I like that the batteries are built in, and they charge through a USB port.
They aren't cheap, but very well made. Compared to some, or mostly all other LED lighting systems for our drones. And the mounts are very secure. Really well designed. Some of the mods like DJI Ken here have them already. Not heard anyone complain about them. Aside from their price. But Cadillacs often cost more. ;-)
Yes, DJI should come out with a better long distance lighting system. That, would sell well, no doubt.
