As for me personally, I come from ancestry that is from Scandinavia. Tolerating long cold winter is in our blood.
So you're built for it and you get to enjoy it, I'm 1/4 Italian, I'm built for the long hot summers, which is almost a shame, because there's things in the northern areas I'd love to see but I doubt I'd ever enjoy.
You'd have to go in the off season, I assume.
