Hmmmm . I heard it was January 23 - but that was last year ...
The Saddest Day of The Year?
If you are to believe the news readers on MSNBC.com today, January 23rd is the saddest day of the year.
In sharing this tongue and cheek story, the MSNBC readers quote a British Psychologist Cliff Arnall who has created a formula to predict the year's saddest day.
Found the formula in the news.telegraph that is also giving Arnall lots of coverage today.
"An expert in winter disorders first identified January as the most stressful month. Now Cliff Arnall, a health psychologist at Cardiff University, has devised a formula to work out the worst day of the year and has come up with Jan 23 for 2006.
His calculation is based on the poorest weather, debts owed for seasonal spending, the time since Christmas, the period of time before you abandon New Year's resolutions, the dates when motivation levels seems to be at their lowest and the timing for the need for action to escape the blues."http://funnybusiness.typepad.com/funnybusiness/2006/01/the_saddest_day.html
I think it really has to do with Seasonal Affective Disorder

I found out the answer. It's actually the 24th of January, not the 22nd.
They said that it had to do with the days being shorter, the amount of debt people have over the holidays, holiday cheer wearing off and people breaking their New Year's resolutions.

It is sad because over 120 schools in my state ( I live in a small state) had snow days, but we didn't. Havn't had one in years. Four years to be exact.
