It's the dark, cold, gloomy time of year.  In some cities that's kind of a bummer, and in other cities it means all-out misery...

A new study ranked the 50 biggest cities in the U.S. from the most to least GLOOMY.  The rankings are based on the percentage of cloud cover, average hours of daylight, and total number of rainy days.

And this probably isn't a huge surprise . . . but Seattle was named the gloomiest city in the country.  Portland, Oregon came in second.

The rest of the 10 gloomiest cities are:  Buffalo, New York . . . Cleveland . . . Pittsburgh . . . Detroit . . . Columbus, Ohio . . . Milwaukee . . . Chicago . . . and Boston.

The five big cities that are the least gloomy are:  Phoenix . . . Las Vegas . . . Riverside, California . . . Los Angeles . . . and San Diego.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
