I know that people in Seattle also suffer from SAD-ness because the weather is usually so dreary. My sisters complained about it, constantly, for months after moving there. Then, they finally got used to it. I think the fact that they live near the water helps; at least the scenery is great.
I used to live in snow country and felt a bit melancholy after days on end of white stuff falling on my head. I think that's when I took up needlepoint.
A friend of mine who lives in Alaska, where they have sun for such a short period of time, teaches martial arts. That's how she copes.
Much of our cell phone technology comes largely out of Scandinavia. There's a joke in the IT industry that the Scandinavians have nothing better to do than write code or hold air guitar contests.
People have different ways of coping, I supposed depending upon their personal makeup and their culture.
