The wonders of winter. A perfect place to set up climate change study?

I feel as though the most magnificent stuff can most likely happen during an exceptional cold event, but I'm not sure why. Like neat things can happen during a heat wave, except that in the winter, especially during the upcoming time of year, the temperatures can fall so dramatically that some very interesting stuff can occur. Take for example frost quakes, or frost flowers, or exceptional viewing conditions (when astronomy can potentially benefit). Specifically speaking, January in Southern Michigan is possibly colder than any other month of winter. Sometimes, February can be even colder, and perhaps even the first several days of March as well. Here what can happen is that as early as January, as long as the air temperature is cold enough, the phenomena known as light pillars can occur, in addition to other atmospheric optical phenomenon. January differentiates from December also because of the fact that snow squalls, generally associated with lake effect snow, is generally less common, at least going towards the end of the month; however, also during the month of January the amount of snowfall events can be more frequent, however, each event is usually categorized as having produces less snow, meaning that overall the amount of snow in January is less than in December. In February, often what can happen is that warm fronts may be more intense as opposed to January and even December, but at the same time, the cold fronts that can potentially arrive during February have greater potential of being even more cooler. This means that February isn't necessarily warmer than January, at least when it comes to the long term climate of Southern Michigan. The wonders associated with extreme cold events are enough to make me consider wanting Spring to stay in hibernation for some time. Eventually, however, I think that spring might need to come around. I also think it would be a very strange but fascinating change, were there to be no spring; instead, going from winter straight to summer; it's extremely difficult for the weather to do so, at least at this latitude, but recent years might be evidence that this might not be the case much longer. I did sometimes think that it would be interesting to live in either an arctic or alpine climate, however, living at the latitude that I do, I get to experience slightly more profound temperature changes throughout the day; Over the course of a winter's day, often what can happen here is that the temperature can vary between (for example) 32 degrees and about -15, meaning a difference of 47 degrees. Meanwhile, if it were in say, the interior of Siberia, the temperature would be more likely to vary by a margin of only about 20 degrees, since the amount of sunlight doesn't change quite as drastically as it does here. That's just temperature though, how about weather? That I'm afraid I have to research some more. There's an area of extreme Northern Siberia, right beside the Arctic sea (although I don't remember the name) that supposedly rarely reaches above 32 degrees; now that's like what the climate would be like at approximately 29,000 feet, assuming that the mountain be at the equator! I think it'd be a perfect place to study whether or not climate change is occurring. Anyway, it's an interesting discussion. Whether or not global warming is real, using efforts to stop it, which could potentially include spraying aerosols or other types of particles into the air, could cause irreversible cooling, especially given the fact that one or more volcanic eruptions could coincide with such an experiment. It is debatable I suppose, but I do realize that such experiments, especially if done at the extreme, could disrupt plant life, and ultimately maybe even animal life. What we as humans do on this planet, has the dangerous potential to be done at a pace that is incredibly quick and abrupt as compared to that of a natural pace, one which life can adapt to, and recover from in time.
