The holiday season may have been merry, but it certainly wasn't bright.
By the numbers: The Twin Cities hasn't had what the National Weather Service deems a "clear" day since Dec. 20.
13 of the last 14 days have registered cloud scores of 7 or higher on NWS's 1-10 scale, in which 10 is the cloudiest.
Six of those days have scored a perfect 10.
Context: Typically, about 25% of days in December and January are clear, according to Minnesota DNR data.
What we're watching: Today and tomorrow's forecasts call for at least some sun, but clouds and snow return this weekend.
The bottom line: It's been a great start to winter for snow lovers, but we're not getting any of those blue bird days that make ice skating, skiing or sledding so much more energizing.
