This is true, it's why most intellectual achievements happen in the higher latitudes. People and evolution are shaped a lot by environment. I still firmly believe that a lot is left up to the individual, but people as a whole tend to reflect and react to their environment. Hence long winters means working and intellectual pursuits indoors. It really doesn't matter to me, I've spent indoors all day when it was beautiful plenty of times, key to success is to not change your work habits on a whim such as good weather.

You probably don't have months and months of it however.
