I love it, as do kids, pets, photographers etc..it's still exciting for me as it's such a rare occurrence now.
You probably lose more money through getting stuck in traffic and Illness than the odd snow covered ground for a day or two

Well the arctic cold broke in my part of Canada last night.
-27 on my walk into work yesterday.
Another interesting update on the 850hPa - posted it here as I want to see in comparison how it unfolds.
Usurping Neil a bit here but posting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7ylk9HswmE
From Thursday onwards the weather looks set to get progressively colder. There is some uncertainty as to how quickly this happens but we expect colder easterly winds to gradually start making their presence felt with night frost and snow flurries possible on the east coast by the end of the week.Next weekend and into the following will see a "Big Freeze" affecting much northern Europe. There's currently a growing risk of this very cold air and heavy snow hitting the UK and bringing a disruptive end to Winter 2017/18 - Watch this space.
It is far from "nailed on" and while a crude visualisation of it this is a relatively easy to interpret in a generic way of looking at it:
Some debate about how quickly it bounces back and not just bounces back but tends towards almost spring like - a block substantial enough that causes that level of cold shouldn't break down that quickly.
Going down below -15 at 850hPa I don't think has been really seen this winter so far so probably will get at least 1-2 days of reasonable cold at ground level but its largely looking dry so possibly not much in the way of snow.
