I'm fine with that. Cold winters are supposed to be normal out here anyway.
It'll help slow the encroachment of invasive plant and animal species from other parts of the continent.
The problem is if it is too cold for too long, things break. When I've experienced long durations of extremely cold weather, things get bad.
Ice accumulates inside, vents freeze over, cars don't start, etc. It's not good.
But it is our former normal ... and I'll be happier to see that again.
Depends what we're getting. A nice, median, general cold would be good. But an average cold that includes several -40 storms isn't great, and is probably what we'll get.

I've heard they use modern methods these days.
