snowenfreude

the slightly malicious feeling of joy experienced by people living in warmer climates upon seeing massive, crippling snowfall amounts elsewhere in the country.

Etymology: After the German Schadenfreude, Schaden (damage) + Freude (joy).

Viewing images from the East Coast's Snowmageddon, Chad experienced a fleeting sense of snowenfreude.
