I’m Swiss, but I was born and raised in the Gulf states. When I visit Switzerland during the cold season, I immediately become depressed, irritable, and in a bad mood. I prefer the heat 100%. I don’t think I could live in a place with a cold climate and be happy.
Winter is great at times, I love freshly falling snow, running in it especially. But by this time of the year, the magic has worn off, 6 months of snow and ice and slush here. We don’t even have it that bad either comparitively.
