I was seriously put off by the evident confliction of causation and correlation in the mentioned study (at least the way it was put in the article). Of course people, who live where the winter is harsh would have a positive attitude to the winter. Either, because of selection bias (they live there because they like the winter), or because they had no choice but to grow accustomed to it.
