Speaking as someone who has barely even experienced snow in their life, how would someone like me handle the winter there? Will I go insane and go on a rampage?

I have a job offer there, and I'm considering it. The biggest problem is your climate which seems.....tough. Is the climate there something that really puts you in a depressed state?

Definitely a climate difference between Vegas and Toronto.

Just buy a nice coat, scarves, and gloves. You learn to deal with the cold. Edit: And a winter cap!

It's not too bad. Regular winter clothing can get you past anything here (some days are better in long johns or dual pants though).

If your biggest problem with Toronto is the weather, you have not done enough research :)

Depends if you have a place where you need to shovel the driveway or not. If you do and it's anything like last winter, chances are you'll be dead by February.
