Does this winter feel darker / greyer than usual? Or am I imagining things?

I know that dark, grey winters come with the territory, but for some reason this year feels exceptionally gloomy. Anyone else really struggling with the lack of sun?

I used to like Vancouver's rainy weather, but these days I feel depressed from the moment I wake up and see the grey skies. I feel like we usually get one or two clear, sunny days to break up the grey, but it's been consistently dark this winter with only quick peeks of sun here and there. I need to stop checking the forecast because they always put sunny days at the end of the 14 day outlook, and then switch them to rain as we get closer lol.

On that note, any tips for dealing with seasonal depression in Vancouver? It's never been this bad for me before.
