Generate the table here for Fairbanks, Alaska. On December 22 it's 1058 - 1440 actually making it less than a 4 hour day.

Hah! Despite the name, it’s actually not that cold in Iceland. Average temperature in Reykjavik in January is around 32-33 degrees (Fahrenheit) — quite a bit warmer than Detroit.

It’s to COLD to rob anybody most of the year….. That’s why their crime rate is so low.

There’s a reason crime rates drop in Detroit during the winter.

It’s to hard running from the cops through 2 feet of snow.

I’ve tried, the snow shoes kept tripping me up.

Iceland, huh? Socialized medicine for all, low crime rate, high literacy rate. What’s there not to like about that?

Yeah, you’ve gotta wonder what they find to do in Reykjavik during almost 20 hours of darkness … oh. Never mind.

Imagine having to wait until 11:00 to daven Shacharis or the time of havdala in the summer.
