Yep, blessed be Scandinavia and its winter wonderland.

Björk - Vespertine
múm (Icelandic) - Finally We Are No One / Summer Make Good
Efterklang (Danish) - Tripper

Those aren't particularly "happy" but make up for it in the "floaty" department....and yeah, the entire Sigur Rós catalogue. And maybe throw in some Emiliana Torrini in the mix; Fisherman's Woman is lovely.

I'd also recommend a non Scandinavian band Grizzly Bear and their recent release Yellow House; an extermely lush and warm album, your perfect blanket for the cold winter weather. Perhaps Tom Waits' Alice album too; it's more in the lyrics of particular songs though, than in the music itself.
