The one winter I experienced in the 1.5 years I lived there, the problem was not glacier, it was horrifying cold and disgusting street snow mountains on the curbs.
I walked a block in -5°F daily that January ('06, for reference). One day (thankfully a Saturday) it was -18°F, with a wind chill factor of -30°F. That was the coldest day that year, and I was told it was a mild winter with less snow and less cold. It snowed all the damned time and my stupid stubby legs had to hop haplessly onto and off of icy sidewalks fortified in mounds of snow black with gross street goo.
By February, I had decided that 32°F was downright balmy.
That said, it's absolutely beautiful in late spring and most of summer and early fall. It's *almost* worth it.
