You know, it's not too bad. I grew in the NY area, just seems normal to me. It's a pain when you have to deal with it in particular situations but you get through it.
Perfect example, I really can't drive that Mazda at the moment, it's terrible in the snow. I've been driving my wife's Subaru which means I get to take her to the train and pick her up. Just an extra schlep. Everything takes a little longer.
And let's forget bundling up two little kids every time you go out the door. They love putting on big coats and hats and gloves. They are too still young to go out and play all day like I used to so we end up stuck inside for days on end.
Not to mention the constant gray skies, (although it is sunny but frigid today) dirty snow, salt and sand all over the place, sub-zero temps, school cancelled for snow days, etc. You get the picture.
Conversely, I detest muggy weather. I'll take winter any day over pavement melting humidity.
