It is "nice cool cold air" until it gets to about 50°F. You will have to convert to C. Right now it is 22°F here. When you walk outside the air hurts. Your ears hurt, your nose drips. Your hands hurt. If there is a lot of snow on the ground your feet get cold, and maybe wet, and they hurt too. This storm affected many states. Ice formed on the trees and many trees fell down or broke. They fell on houses. They fell on cars. They fell on power lines. Many thousands of people do not have power. They have no lights or heat in their houses. The water in their houses will freeze. When the weather gets warm the pipes will thaw, but their pipes will have split and water will squirt out and flood their houses. Much damage will happen. The roads are icy and cars slide off the road or into each other. It's not much fun at all.
I cringe as I read your post about the reality of snow storm, not nice hot chocolate drink I imagined. No power, no heater in such cold. The pipes thaw and split and flooded the houses, ...I experience the flooding with our rain over here, it is terrible beyond word.

Every year, I saw on our TV about snow storm in America and Canada, the image of road blocked, thick in snow and snow winds. Years ago at a place I worked then I had a colleague from Canada, she says that she moves to Australia because Canada is too cold.

My winter here is cold, but must be like spring season in America. I wear a beanie, gloves, thermal undershirt, winter shirt, and big jacket. At night I sit in front of the heater, my nose freeze so it feels, my ears freeze the beanie helps cover my ears.

My fancy imagination of lovely snow is replaced with ears freeze, hands freeze, no power to make that hot cup of tea, heater to warm and that flooding is just too painful to bear.

But when it is not snow storm, just normal winter snow then you can skii, do snowman, roast chestnut in the backyard.
 
By the way, I keep mentioning about roast chestnut because that is something I only get to eat in winter over here. My state is known for being the Sunshine state, so we do not grow chestnut, we got it from the southern state, I often order it online from a chestnut farm. I roast it on an old frying pan on my cooktop, that way it warms up the house and the house smells of warm roast chestnut.
 
Having my 2nd coffee now...
Early this morning clean up the garden after a rain storm last night. It was windy so things were everywhere in the garden. My little bantam coop were wet from the blasted rain, but my bantams are dry, they did not get caught in the blasted rain.
Take my mom to chiropractor this morning if we can get an appointment.
The sky is clear blue, no cloud so another hot day. This will dry up the rain from last night in no time.
