My office in New York has a window that gets marvelous sunlight from about noon until 2:00 during the months of January and February. It gets warm and feels like I am on the beach. At least that happens the days that the sun actually shines, which were few and far between since the beginning of the year. I get energized by this bright light and thus soooo welcome it. In its absence I have been reading my way through the winter to give me an extra boost.
