Am I missing a hint?

I reviewed where my company has sent me for the last 3 Decembers. Are they trying to tell me something?

Dec 2007 (Mellansel, Sweden = temp around -10C)
An unbelievable amount of snow, yet people choose to live there!


Dec 2008 (Helsinki, Finland = temp around +3C)
Note: It is fuzzy, but you can see a temperature display in the upper right hand corner. Above freezing, so no snow. Still very cold!


Dec 2009 (Montreal, Canada = temp around -20C)
Yikes! It was almost as cold as my coldest day ever in Sweden (my personal low temp ever experienced is -26C in Sweden).


At least I got more sunshine in Montreal than on my trips to Sweden and Finland. They only get about an hour less sunlight than home in December (around 9 hours). In Helsinki, Finland there was about 8 hours of sunshine per day. In Mellansel, Sweden there was about 6 hours of sun per day - and it stayed very low on the horizon.

I am a native Southern California guy. What are they trying to do to me???

Well lets see. They figure your the best America has to offer.

Your not tempted by the Swedish blonde's. Helsinki has that formula you could use. And Canada is some kind of vague "what if" warning?
 
No no. The powers that be just want you to buy long underwear.

It's nefarious in its simplicity.
 
I think as long as they keep buying you round trip tickets, it's a good sign.
