Yah, we just missed that by a year on our first trip over. It's all brand new to my wife, who has only seen snow once (in Adam!). I grew up with it, and love it.
Back when i was a kid, our town had a huge fresh water man made sand pond with big concrete platforms interspersed. It was pretty big.... and each winter it would ice completely over nice and thick. Then every Thursday afternoon, the Fire Department would show up and hose it all down with new water, so each Friday night, that pond was like glass. I had a lot of fun growing up in the winter. I'm surprised I still have every digit!
CPH ... don't hold ur breath....man last night was a hard freeze. It was 32 by ten oclock and didn't get above till 9 this morning. Another round tonite of the same(low of around 25), and then we get a break for at least a week. It all adds up though, each freeze weakens the veg/fruit for the next cold wave.
snow makes for the most funn driving you can find 
and it causes snow days, and sledging and slippery fun madness
