The nights are actually due to get shorter since the sun has hit its lowest. Perhaps 'long twilight dreams await' would work.

To me December and January aren't too bad, but November's shortening days and an impatience by February waiting for spring and summer gets me more. But then, without long nights in winter we wouldn't have the wonderfully long days of summer.

I'm glad I keep my sunglasses in the car, as the sun is low all day up here around 55N it can be in your field of vision most of the day. Ain't nothin cooler than driving with wraparound shades in winter :)
