If you never lived where it snows and were moving North to where it does snow, what would you have liked to have known? What would you do to prepare?

Cross-country skiing is fun! I think so, anyway. Take it easy, don't expect to be super good at it right away, et cetera, but maybe try out whichever winter sports appeal to you. What everyone else said, but also don't forget to go outside and enjoy yourself sometimes.

I would have liked to know if it snows so that I won't move there

Watch out for freezing rain as the sidewalks become scary.

Im addition to the other tools to dig your car out, fill a large sealable bag or jug with a mix of sand and road-salt and leave it in your trunk/boot. If you end up haveing trouble getting traction when you start the car on a hill or have to get up a small lip around your tires, throw the mix under the drive train tires to help get you out of the hole.

What is north for you? I see so many tips being the dumbest things I've ever heard of.

Like plastic wrap on your windows. Sounds like something stupid Americans does instead of buying proper insulated windows.

Not saying I'm a expert. But I am a Swede and deal with snow and cold every year.
