I think she was fine with climate, but not the daylight hours

Totally separate from this article, but I've met a bunch of people who grew up/live in the mild Mediterranean climate on the west coast of the US who have next to no ability to exist outside of the absolutely perfect weather they're used to. So while this author wasn't doing so, I can bet there are people from Seattle or whatever who would be miserable in Copenhagen because it has the possibility of getting below like 10°c

I lived in LA for a year and the weather was just boring. I like seasons. LA was a pleasant sunny day every single day. Drove me nuts after a while. I want a thunderstorm! Or maybe a tornado alert! The moment it drops to 60 everyone in the city puts on a black leather jacket.

Copenhagen (and most of Denmark) also gets hit with the North Sea winds quite often, which results in high humidity. It's not that cold most of the time here, but 5 degrees celsius can really bite when it's wet and windy.

That sounds like the most reasonable weather for a coastal area in northern europe, and exactly the kind of conditions someone I know would represent as positively arctic and uninhabitable

It's completely fine, but if you're not used to dealing with humidity, even if you are used to cold temperatures, then it can mess you up.
