It's not weird. It's called living in a place that gets snow and liking it. A lot of people in Maine (and the rest of New England) would agree with me.
Snow = Good
Heat = Bad
Now, this winter has been kind of weak snow-wise... we had a little and then it melted on Christmas and then we got a little more, but no really big blizzards -- an inch here, half an inch there, several inches once every few weeks... we did have four inches or so yesterday, but that was the first sizable snowstorm in some time. It feels like we used to have more snow but the last few winters have not had as much... it seems as cold as ever, though, so oh well. There's at least a little snow on the ground (though at times the grass is coming up through the snow) in January and February and there's a good amount of snow in December and March and often well into April... though in later March and April it's more like the 'snows and it melts in a few days' thing instead of 'snows and stays for a long time' like it is when it's deeper in winter.
