No wind is factored in this equation. That kills Reykjavik.

From page: "Next Steps: It would be interesting to use detailed time series for each city and a utility function on temperatures (perhaps including wind chill and humidex) to determine which cities are truly mean-variance optimal."

Yes - be warned - this is a trap.

We first named Greenland Greenland to trick people to go there instead of Iceland.
