Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Any ideas for us poor souls living north of the Canadian border? I emigrated to Canada from England 15 years ago, Guess I should have gone to Australia! Off topic -I read a post recently about someine in PA having a foot of snow. Only a foot? Try living with 3 feet of snow right now, I can't get the car out of the garage because the snow is so deep it comes over the trunk! Takes 2 hours to shovel the driveway. Snow is up to the window ledges. Yes, I should have gone to Australia! . > tasmania and melbourne have cacked it, perth and sydney are still > good. tasmania's good sun finished near the end of jan. > > i have updated my web page with an indication of minimuim solar > elevations and maximium dobson levels. > > http://members.tripod.com/mueller_ranges/links/compendium/skin_sun_vit > _d.html > > any area north of indianapolis will have a very limited season of > this theraputic sun ranging from about five weeks at the latitide of > indianapolis to proably nothing at all by the time you get to the > canadian border. > > miami florida has a solar noon elveation of 51 degress at the moment > which is still well below what is necessary. > > do your homework and get familar with how to tell when this sun is > about because for most its only a month or less in the year and if > you miss it thats it gone for another year.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 well i'm 3ft deep in feral cats out my front door.......... southern usa is proably ok in midsummer esp arizona and new mexico with thier clear air and high altitude but you may as well go to the bahamas as that far i guess. i would say that vitamin d supplementation is essential in canada beyond food levles say 1000iu a day for adults minimium. but this full spectrum sun is needed and basically you have to travel to it like i will go north this winter i think. > > tasmania and melbourne have cacked it, perth and sydney are still > > good. tasmania's good sun finished near the end of jan. > > > > i have updated my web page with an indication of minimuim solar > > elevations and maximium dobson levels. > > > > > http://members.tripod.com/mueller_ranges/links/compendium/skin_sun_vit > > _d.html > > > > any area north of indianapolis will have a very limited season of > > this theraputic sun ranging from about five weeks at the latitide > of > > indianapolis to proably nothing at all by the time you get to the > > canadian border. > > > > miami florida has a solar noon elveation of 51 degress at the > moment > > which is still well below what is necessary. > > > > do your homework and get familar with how to tell when this sun is > > about because for most its only a month or less in the year and if > > you miss it thats it gone for another year.
