I wonder how they would have described that instant connection in the olden days before the advent of an internet :)
People will be people methinks, as what suits one doesn't suit another. Your winters are extra cold, and our summers are extra hot, just the way that it was meant to be. You are correct about the weather being an easy conversation starter.

We don't have Arctic Swans over here, and they are beautiful birds.
Btw. Some great pictures in here!
