I think I prefer extreme cold to heavy snowfall. Extreme cold around here means it's brilliantly sunny, which can be nice, especially if you're inside most of the time anyway. Heavy snowfall is such a drag and it takes a week for things to be cleared and back to normal.
Supposed to go down to -36 tonight (actual temperature, not windchill "feels like"). Apparently that can be devastating for the ash borer beetle, which has recently made its first appearance in town and has been expected to wipe out much of Winnipeg's forest canopy in the next five years. With any luck, the obscenely brutal cold will be just too much for them.
This place has barely dipped below freezing this winter. We may have had a few days where daytime temperatures dipped below zero. I saw rhododendrons in bloom the other day!
