I don't think your biased heat tolerance is a good indicator of how practical Queenslanders are for Queensland conditions. They have been a perfect fit for a long time in Qld an Northern NSW but I wouldn't suggest they would be ideal for Norway (or France).
Not everyone loves winters and it has been my experience that there is only so much cold and snow that one can really bear once the novelty wears off.
More people die from cold than from heat so snuggle up this winter possum
How many people die from extreme temperatures, and how this could change in the future: Part one
Cold deaths vastly outnumber heat-related ones, but mostly due to “moderate” rather than extremely cold conditions.
