I think absolutely yes. I'd give up a lot to move to Finland or some shit just because the weather there sounds like haven to me. I live in the Middle East and it's not as much the heat that kills me (it's "only" a factor for about a third of a year and it sucks too of course) its the goddamn dust storms, I'm so sensitive to these things. I still have no idea why some people like living in deserts under a scorching Sun, with all the sand and dust in the air, it's dreadful, not to mention the nature is super boring without proper fields, forests and rivers and stuff.
I live in Finland and used to live in Portugal. Trust me, you don't need to go so far north. Half the year you don't want to go out because of how cold it is. The novelty wears out fast!
Germany was pretty good but alas, hard to find work that pays well enough with the horrible housing situation.
