Go drive in eastern Europe after a snow storm, you miss one snow covered sign and end up on the wrong side of a high speed road, &c. It's like learning to code in JS on a 2024 MacBook pro and thinking you can "just" transfer your skills to cobol on 1970s hardware because both are "programming"

Extreme weather is a problem, as is snow. No doubt.

I’m simply talking about “300 days of sun” as being the limiting factor. You extrapolated the rest.
