Nevev thought it was cold like that in Iceland...I could never survive put there. I already think my country is cold.
We basically have no summer. Our winters are actually milder than New York City's. Windier and wetter and more unpredictable, though, but our average January temperature is barely below freezing. It's not too cold for agriculture, but it limits what kind of crops you can grow outside - carrot, potato, radish, onion, rhubarb, certain varieties of barley and winter wheat, most berries, etc grow just fine here, but things like tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, etc don't stand a chance unless grown in a greenhouse. Lots of greenhouses, though.
Given that I hate heat, I love this climate. I'm wearing a cute sweater and a pair of winter boots as I write this, on a sunny july day.
What I don't get is how people in other parts of the world go dancing! Sometimes it's so "warm" in the evenings** in the summer that I can't seem to cool down fast enough just by stepping outside.
** - Evenings is a loose term here. You can't judge it from darkness because it varies so much, and the nightlife scene generally runs from 12 to 6 AM, which technically is "morning"...
