The best attitude to have is to "embrace the suck". Yes stuff gets less convenient but we all get through it together and bond over it.

Hair freezes, your nose runs into your facial hair or onto your upper lip. Skin dries out, cracks and bleeds. Power goes out. Cars get stuck, or, at a minimum, take extra time to defrost. Potholes and frost heaves appear. Mailboxes get run over by plows.

But you can set up a bird feeder. They attract squirrels and bears too, FWIW. Go ice skating-- some towns have outdoor rinks if you don't know how to judge a frozen lake for safety. Wander through a summer tourist spot like OOB and enjoy the solitude.
