What happened to the Sun?

Whilst I'm as pleased as anyone that we have so far escaped the snow and ice that we got last year is it too much to ask for a bit of sun. The days are just so short and miserable, sometimes I wish I could hibernate for the winter or fly off somewhere really sunny like LA or the West Indies. May be the next time Cheryl jets off somewhere she might smuggle me in her suitcase to try and cheer me up.
