What would it REALLY be like for me if I moved to a colder climate?

Some people get depressed in the winter cold and dark. I am the opposite. I get severely depressed in June, July, and August, with all the blaring summer light like a nuclear holocaust, here in Memphis, with humidity and heat index temperatures close to 110 degrees farriegnhiet for ten or more weeks straight. Summers here start in May and lingers through October.

How would someone like me find colder places, like eastern Canada, Scandinavia, or the Baltic? Some place where it never gets hot and humid. I look at pictures on the internet and dream of places where the summers are more like our mild, temperate winters, autumns, and early spring—and winters cold and dark, with bright auroras.

I really don’t think I can take another summer here, and am ready for a major change in my life in no less than two years from now, if I am financially solvent enough to move ahead and leave this all behind. Ties and too much stuff had prohibited me most of my life, but I am ready for a clean break. Not angry, not resentful, just needing to obliterate all of this and go someplace else.

Lets not get into politics. I currently get along well with people of all political persuasions in an academic setting. I just want to live someplace sane and cooler for the remainder of my time in this world.
