He also lives in the extreme south of the USA, where the days are longer in the winter, not to say anything of being much warmer.
Believe me, it is much more difficult to face the prospect of a long, dark, cold Wisconsin winter than one in San Diego.
Consider that we have days where the sun sets at 4:23, we get only 9 hours of daylight, with an average low of 4 degrees (it is even worse in Minneapolis).
But in San Diego the sun sets at 4:42, their shortest day is 10 hours of daylight, and the lowest avg temp on any day is 48. I could deal with that.
