Speaking to Sky Blue Player, McPake said: "I love this weather because it's just like being back home. Training in the snow and while it's freezing is what I'm used to so I love it.
"The gaffer doesn't let us wear hats in training so all of our ears freeze together but once you get running about and warmed up it's alright.
"It's important as well because sometimes you have to play through the conditions whatever they might be.
"We went down to Scunthorpe on Saturday and it was absolutely freezing and some teams might turn up to a game like that and just not fancy it on the day but we went there and were determined we were going to get the three points."
