The elevation and effect on your commute shouldn't be underestimated. You're the first to get snow/bad(worse) road conditions and the last place for it to melt without necessarily the same quality City services.
Cochrane was always a great day get-away with the highlight of ice cream at Mackay's growing up. The keyword is get-away and, unless you can flex your work schedule, telecommute or are retired, I could see how old that much commuting in winter rush hour would become very quickly.
