You get light but its not sunlight. Most of the time the sky is lit by moonlight and starlight and with all the snow it reflects off of that to give a beautiful blue cold light. Me I lived up north for 15 years. 8 of those years with a month of no sunlight. The best times were when the northern lights came out and you had a green purple glow to the blue light you were living in.

But yeah when the sun came back I remember just looking at the sky and saying omg I missed you so much!

It's not dark and there is light. It is just not a light you are used to.
