Binghamton Lands on the List Of Least Daily Sunshine [GALLERY]
During the depressing days of winter, we long for spring and warm temperatures. Enough of the snow, ice, and cold already.
Every winter, as I sit in my office daydreaming about spring (oops, did I just get myself in trouble?), I thought about how we stack up against other cities in the United States as far as daily sunshine is concerned.
I know we always joke about the fact that the Binghamton area dosen't see a lot of sunshine, but apparently, it is not as much of a joke as I thought. According to an article in USA Today written in August 2019 about the 30 United States cities that receive the least amount of yearly sunshine, the Binghamton area lands on that list.

USA Today listed the top five as Burlington Vermont, Olympia Washington, Bremerton, Washington, Bangor, Maine, and Duluth Minnesota-Washington. But there are six cities close to us, including Binghamton who also have the unfortunate honor of being a part of the 30 least sunny cities in the United States. Actually, those six are in the top 15.
