This even more just in - the weather thread
Welu:
Rain and highs of 11 Celsius. Perfect stomping through fields and lakes for twelve hours weather.

Well yes... But more generally, it's a tradeoff. It's not like colder climates have no benefits. Outdoors/nature is fairly safe, natural disasters are rare here, and the change of seasons is often breathtakingly beautiful. Plus, we get a ton of sunlight in the summer.
Metope:
... and darkness in winter. Don't know where you are though, in Norway and Scotland however autumn and spring can be beautiful, but mostly it rains all autumn so it's a waste. In Norway especially spring is just a sludge of melting snow and mud, when it's finally gone it starts snowing again and you have to deal with it all over again. Not to mention frequent breakdowns of public transport and closed roads. Ugh I need to move somewhere warm.
it's true that Norway on a nice, sunny summer day is the most beautiful and wonderful place to be, but those days are so rare it's pointless to sacrifice the rest of the year for it.
ev4n:
Yes, the darkness is the worst. It's pretty soul crushing how short the days are in Nov/Dec/Jan.
I'm in Canada, I've been all over the northern half of Ontario. Mostly 47-50 degrees north, so not as far as northern Europe, although the weather is much less moderate.
Metope:
Oh yeah the only reason why Scandinavia is liveable is the mild current coming from the gulf of Mexico. It gets really cold inland, but the Norwegian coast is pretty mild compared to everywhere else at this latitude. If it wasn't for that current, Scandinavia would be another version of Greenland...
