We are mostly frustrated that it could be better, but the bloat of the organization works so much against it.

As much as I like to complain about the MBTA, I much preferred Boston's public transit options to Seattle, where I live now. And even Seattle has one of the more comprehensive systems in the country.
Using public transport in the snow requires contingency planning on the part of the rider, but I'm sure you'd be able to handle it just fine.
