Pennsylvania Winter My Butt

So I have been living in Pennsylvania for all but the first two years of my life and I can not remember ever having a winter as bad as the ones we have in Slippery Rock. I would think that since I live further north that I would experience harsher winters with more freezing temperatures but that is not the case. So far in my three years at SRU I have gone through everything from -20 degree days where I had to walk back to the dorms from McKay to getting my car stuck in the snow in a parking three times in one week. If this is what Pennsylvania weather really looks like get me out of this state ASAP!
