Got an idea for next month's banner?
Was the place you grew up super cold in winter?
Because my alternative explanation is that we can get away with cold houses. Even if you leave the window open at night in the winter you are still likely to be able to put on another blanket and then put up with it.
In many countries they get -20C or colder through the winder, they can't get away without building really warm houses.
Therefore they have been building warm houses for decades and are much better at it.
In terms of dampness, this may also be environmental, we are subtropical and so winters can be mild and humid leading to the cold damp thing.
