I have a close friend here in the US who is a Swedish immigrant and a web designer. Maybe she has some connections I could use.

My hesitation in applying to work in Northern Europe is that I lived in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia when I was married to a Canadian woman. I'm not real sure I have the temerity to face all that snow again. :-/

There's typically very little snow in the tech hubs of Scandinavia (Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, Gothenburg and Malmo) even in the midst of winter. If snow is your biggest concern then moving here shouldn't be an issue ;).
