Wow the quality of that light is amazing. I used to love the snow, but last year we had such a bad time of it at that I get gun shy looking at it. In England it's not so much a worry, but now I'm having to cut my trip short and possibly go back to USA soon so I'll probably have to see it after all.
Multiple wool layers and concentrating on the beauty of snow will take you through the cold winter months if you have to face them :)
