"further, while sweden and denmark practically touch, their key population centers (stockholm and copenhagen) are 4 degrees of latitude apart."

Not sure if this is relevant. Latitude is not a very good proxy for climate, reason for which the French king made the mistake of telling his subjects to colonise Quebec, which, according to the map, was at the same latitude as France (they did not anticipate the harsh winters there).

I may be wrong but Copenhagen and Stockholm being both on the Baltic Sea, the climate there should be fairly similar (i.e. wet and cold shitty weather)
