Send them up here to Minnesota; we fly year around . There are some HUGE fields here in the winter, with no trees at all. Can't use them in the summer, though--we'd sink.
FWIW, I did a quick and dirty analysis: I calculated correlation between % qualifying and average temperature between Dec and Feb by NOAA zone; the result was a -.26 correlation (more people qualified as a percentage of entries in colder places. The same relation , albeit milder at -.08, applies to percent of entries reaching the finals.
There are a ton of confounding variables, but I sure wouldn't say that the colder places had an unfair handicap.
I agree it sometimes wasn't pleasant out there :-)
