If the sun is up, it must be summer. And enough ice melts every summer to cover the entire continental US twice over – while it freezes at the same rate at the other pole. This has been going on for at least 650 million years, since the end of the last “Snowball Earth”.
@Nnelg: No, it is winter. This time of year, the sun is very low in the sky. It comes up for a very short time and then sets again. It has been doing this every year for billions of years since the Earth was formed.
Looks likes hot tempers on black friday were on the rise this Christmas.
I think this is a commentary on climate change.

@Dogi Fan:
At the North Pole the sun sets in September and doesn’t rise again until mid-March. (In fact, there is exactly 1 day per year.)
@ Whap: Ya think?
I would have liked an alternate caption: “Well, from now on it’s coal for the Republicans!”
Climate was f**k the santa
Sorry! I was thinking of something else. Must be September, or else the North Pole has moved.
Don’t worry in a few million years they will evolve and survive as merbear elves
I think Santa needs to move his operation
what the north pole looks like during the summer if santa stays there.
