I think this is the main point in the article, no? I you're used to it and you don't regard it as a negative thing, it won't induce misery. Well, basically goes for a lot of things in life. Hard part is of course changing the mindest.

The sun on your skin is a biological need and induces biological response, it's difficult to just will that away.

Yup, though has there been official statements about the Flying Canoe or similar activities? Otherwise it'll all be hiding and hoping that we don't have another string of -30 weeks keeping us from leaving the house entirely for January A nice winter evening walk can work wonders for moral assuming you're not dealing with eyelashes frozen shut and air that hurts to breathe in.
