Well, Girlfriend, I'm in the same boat as you! When we had our summer place in Florence, Oregon, I thought I'd never seen so much rain -- 99 inches a year! Oy. But then we moved up here! OMG!
I know EXACTLY how you feel. Sometimes I get really down, and then the next morning I wake up to sunshine, and WOW! What a difference! I feel like I could take on the WORLD!
Hubby is SPOT-ON! It's definitely SAD. "A warm beach" -- what's that? You need one of those special lamps for SAD; they're really supposed to work.
The thing that helps me the most, believe it or not, HoHo, is, when I'm down and out, and I know that I am (sometimes we actually don't know it), I force myself to think of all the things in my life that are good, things that so many folks don't have. I know this may sound "polyanna," but it works for me. I pick myself up, go into my sewing room, pull out a pattern and some fabric, and whip up a fun house robe or night shirt, maybe even a wild throw pillow. I've even been known to pull out my plastic canvas and needlepoint yarn, and whip up a tissue box cover.
Above all, it helps to know that sun WILL come eventually -- then we'll have the last laugh on all those smartie-pants who live in the tropics and keep bragging on all their sunshine. I ain't naming names, but if I were, I'd say BARBIE!
