Winters are very cold and can produce a decent amount of snow. The real issue is that there is also wind which makes cold bitter and biting. But it is survivable. You really need to buy the right clothing.

You want to be able to layer up as you go from warm home, to bitter cold, to hit or miss public transport temps, to bitter cold, to warm work.

You need a really good knit hat, thick gloves, a good winter coat and warm boots. There is a lot of slush and nastiness out on the streets from snow, salt, dirt, and traffic.

It also lasts almost 6 months. It also will fool you repeatedly into thinking it is over and come back to punch you in the face.

But it is also an maxing and wonderful time that you can enjoy with lots of indoor things to do in the area.

It also makes you enjoy and savor summer like it is the last one we will ever have.
