Yes, the winters here can be pretty cold...and long!!! However, I find that having never liked winters on the coast, (you can't keep the damp out...no matter how many layers you wear), I am actually enjoying winter here. It is such a dry cold.... snow can be swept off the steps, no shovel needed. Well...unless we get a good wind blowing and then the drifts need a shovel. ;)
