Hi Winnipeg (Winterpeg) is known for its cold weather in winter, but it brings with it great snow sculptures.
http://www.communitynewscommons.org/our-neighbourhoods/let-the-worlds-largest-kitchen-party-begin/ And apparently there was a poll recently asking whether people preferred our cold or the massive snow out east. Cold won out I understand, not surprising given the scenes from the east. The following includes a 50 sec video of 12 hours of snow accumulating. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/by-the-numbers-and-in-pictures-atlantic-canadas-latest-epic-snow-blast/45559/ Apparently it is due to a plot by Putin to strike back at North America for the sanctions. http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/bitter-siberian-winds-to-blame-for-canadian-chill-1.2245247 Unfortunately, the cold weather is only going to add fuel to conspiracy theories about climate change.

The Maricopa Community Colleges, which includes my college, have been closed only once because of weather. That occurred last semester (September 8th) when we got a lot of rain :-) I grew up outside of Chicago and remember listening apprehensively to the radio, hoping to hear my school mentioned in the list of closings due to snow. It felt strange to be doing the same thing last semester to see if I would get a "rain day." But I felt Just as excited when I heard my school mentioned as I had when I was a kid. My first thought was to grab my sled and run over to a friend's house ...
