It's the limited number of hours with daylight. I know in the winter in Siberia we are going to spend a lot of time in the dark. Maybe the light in the few hours of daylight will make it worth it? I don't know but I'll never know unless we try it. Besides, the only time we can leave the farm is winter and another huge plus is that there will be no tourists. We can book trains and hotels as we go along. No?
