Titan
Titan is the largest moon orbiting Saturn, and the second largest in the solar system.
It is cold year-round, so cold in fact it has cryovolcanos that erupt ice instead of lava. Most water is frozen solid as ice, and methane is the main liquid on Titan, even having it's own methane cycle, much like Earth's water cycle. Methane lakes and rivers are common. It's not recommended that one daily on these bodies of methane, however. Someone landed a small automated boat on a methane lake once via drone, and the boat was immediately destroyed by something with tentacles.
The heating of domes only does so much. Essentially, domes on Titan are in a state of perpetual winter. They have to import all of their food, but they export ice, so they're still relatively wealthy like Europa.
Many Ioans talk about going there like it's heaven compared to the hell they live in on Io, but few ever make it.
Titonian women greet each other by kissing each other on the cheek while male friends hug their other male friends. Most assume this is the custom across the solar system. Depending on the region the women are from is depending how many kisses on the cheek they receive, which can be from 1-3 kisses. Skye's Titonian step-grandmother, Alitsa, believes Ioans must kiss 3 times due to a misunderstanding Skye had when she was visiting in high school. Ioans do not have this custom at all.
In the few instances the frost melts on Titan, every man, woman, and child exits their buildings and enjoy the day.
