Where did you move from? Grew up north of Syracuse in the Lake Ontario snow belt. Remember that most winters were long and cold. Snow possible from October though May. Occasional temperature excursions to 30 below zero. Farm tractor with the snow blade kept the driveway open. Cellar was stocked with enough food to last 'til next winter. We would be snowed in every couple of years or so for 2 to 4 days.
Stay warm!
And who can forget the Mother's Day Lake Effect storms?
