Add to that the snot inside your nose freezing your nose together, wind burn on your face and eyes running in the bitter cold wind. How about driving your car back into the garage with its load of dirty frozen slush around the wheels, then having that melt and make a huge mess in the garage, and you can't hose out the garage because everything will freeze.
Getting into a freezing cold car that you haven't been able to pre-heat because it was in a parking lot while you were shopping.
Walking the dog and having to stop every 50 feet to clean the snow out from between his toes.
Cabin fever. Lack of sunshine. Falling on ice while trying to get the mail at the end of the driveway.
Being cold to the bone.
Why not instead go off on a winter vacation for the month of February somewhere in the tundra and see how you like it before committing to buying.
