That's certainly true. Although some people who are either from or have gotten used to places where the weather is mostly sunny and temperate year round (like a lot of California) really can't imagine having to live somewhere with a lot of clouds and rain (even light) much less heavy snowfalls in the winter.
And it's not some mantra or "special thing" really - just get dressed so that you're not wet or cold and you can enjoy the environment no matter what the weather is.
Warm gloves, waterproof boots/shoes, warm upper body clothes primarily. That's it. I find it nicer to focus on layers on the upper body since it's easier to add/remove according to activity etc, than lower body, and it'll affect the lower body temps more than warming the lower body will affect the upper body.
