Once you cycle in the winter for any real chunk of time you get used to it, just like driving or walking. There are many places far less accustomed to snow than us where an average light Hamilton snowfall snarles an entire city for days for lack of antifreeze and snow tires. Similarly, many places with far harsher winters than us (ie: Montreal) still have many more that cycle through them.

As for Potter, somebody needs to tip this dude off that restating tidbits of a first-year Culural Studies course in a popular book does not make you original or visionary. There's probably at least a thousand kids at Mac who could write a far more balanced article. These arguments are the postmodern intellectual equivalent of an acid trip, and as such don't do all that well out of context.

"Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century." — Lewis Mumford
