After that little stint, I found that it takes much more for me to feel cold.
If it's not windy, or breezy the cold is very tolerable. Sunny and cold helps too.

Not if you have the right gear it isn't. If you live in a snowy environment, you get skis and/or showshoes and learn how to use them.
Frankly I prefer colder weather, once you learn how it's much easier to deal with than the sauna that is Louisiana.

Seriously, how do people live like this, by choice???
About 100 miles west of you there is a foot of snow in central penn. That gets old too. Northwest jersey and points north and northeast got 8 to 12 inches and no rain. Fwiw it's all record early.
NYC got its earliest 6+ inch snow ever.
Thanksgiving the pattern changes back to normal range for rest of winter.

Well, no shite. I guess it's a good thing that three foot snows are a rare event.
anything over 10 inches is hard to walk in.
I've lived in the northeast and upper Midwest half my life and only had two snows 27 inches.
You get over 10 inches most towns of consequence that are not ski resorts its new record for the day.

The comparison of hot and humid to things being snowed and iced in.
Hot and humid is an inconvenience but you can still do things.
When everything is iced over and there’s sno everywhere, you physically can’t do things. There is a physical barrier preventing you from doing things.

In the south, yes. Out west, neither will keep you off the road.

Absolutely not. Nothing changes except the type of activities. Frozen lakes, ski slopes, cross country skiing, ice climbing, fishing, hunting, snowshoeing, snowmachining, etc. Hell, even curling on the frozen lakes.

I've had enough of the damn cold for the last three nights. Today should get back up to the mid-60s and low 70s by the weekend. That's the difference between the north and south.

I'd much rather frigid temperatures than 90+ degree days in October and April

Because they adapted there?

Thank god for global warming

I live in Virginia so we do get cold weather and some snow. We probably don't get as much as say Philadelphia as you mentioned but the cold can be annoying sometimes. Of course to answer your question you just sort of adapt to it. Lol if it's home you sort of have to. I lived in Fort Drum upstate New York, now that's a cold climate. It can get down to negative 20 sometimes and it snows like 2-3 inches an hour when it snows. Of course some of us actually like colder weather. Not freezing mind you but colder.
When I got back home from Fort Drum I was wearing shorts because it was warmer. If you have ever wondered why people wear shorts and a hoodie....that's why because of the weather.

It's all just personal preference obviously. I'll take snow and cold over 90 degree humidity and weekly freak lighting storms any day. Also if we're talking year round living no Hurricanes up north. And Christmas without snow isn't really Christmas.

Yep, it's the bone chilling wind that will chase me inside.

so wrong, we have year around outdoor activities. You just can't be a pussy and you need the right clothing.

It definitely sets the mood in you.
I lived so long in nola it could blizzard 10ft of snow and I won’t care. Sick of the heat.
And underrated in the north is the trees changing colors.
