This is why I could not live in New York City.

But New York City has tons of sunlight, and particularly clear skies in the winter. In fact, it's a gorgeous, bright sunny day at this exact moment.

(Unlike upstate New York, which can be extremely overcast -- I grew up there and moving to the city is so much better).

This seems unfair.

According to the NOAA, New York's annual possible sunshine is 58%:

Some cities that we conventionally think of as sunny and are within 2% of NYC:

San Antonio, TX

Austin, TX

Greensboro, NC

Atlanta, GA
