It doesn't rain all the time, as the regional stereotype would have you believe. But we do get less sunlight than other parts of the country.

Vitamin D deficiency is the easiest thing in the world to treat; we just give the patient Vitamin D. Problem solved. (Routine monitoring included, of course).
