Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia - something like a NY winter. I've lived in Wisconsin (went to grad school there) and it was colder than EE. Now, Russia is a different thing, pretty cold there.
Wintertime - stay in large cities, ski resorts... Summertime - large cities empty out, as people mostly go to the beach. Of course, not everyone can afford to spend all sumer at the beach, but the regular folks with 9-5 jobs save their money and energy to be able to drive down for the weekend beach parties.
