I actually like winter a lot, even the bone-chilling days where it hits -30 and colder (you just can't stay outside for long). It's nice having distinct seasons. But there's a lot of work involved, too, not just prep like this, but also regular shovelling of driveways and paths, breaking out the snowblower for the really big dumps that are too much to move on my own.
I'd trade it all for no-winter, though. My parents live someplace that...isn't warm, per se, but it almost never gets below zero. They put their parkas in storage when they moved and haven't had to get them out since.
Where I'm from the coldest it has ever gotten is 0 at some very hilly highrange spots. Snowfall is unheard of.
In general we have the monsoon rains in june/july, clear skies, receding monsoon rains, cool winter, spring/summer in march.
The extreme weather we get is either flood levels of rain or well drying summers.
Snowy winter does sound nice to experience once in a while but yeah living there isn't my idea of a perfect weather either.
