You should consider to immigrate to a colder place.

Forgive my ignorance, but aren't such places bitterly cold outside?

Who wants to live in the cold though.

That's what people from cold places say :)

Most people live somewhere with vastly milder winters. Generalizing from your -40C winters is not useful.

Definitely true in the places with harsh winters.
