The mountains in the Northeast are a completely different climate. I winter hike the Adirondack mountains (trying to hike all 46 peaks) and they get some upslope and lake Ontario enhancement. The snow depths up there right now are anywhere from 4-9'.
Give me 90 and sunny all summer, and give me 30 and lots of snow all winter. I'm a seasons in seasons guy with a fetish for heavy snow rates in LES bands.
You're more of a snow depth person though. So this winter should be good for you. About a month straight of double digit depth and looks to extend another 2-3 weeks.
Springville literally gets hit from every wind direction. The place just snows all the time all winter if there is cold weather. It even snows on SW wind there sometimes lol
Everyone on here is spoiled in terms of winter weather. We all cry unless we get 100"+ and a couple 2 footers each year. Don't forget we want sustained snow cover for months at a time and temps to never get above 30.
I selfishly want a poster on here to live in a snowbelt in WNY. I was hoping @lakeeffectkid383 was going to move to Boston but the markets too insane there.
I was a snowboarder for awhile and definitely prefer skiing. Have been doing it last few years and getting so much better. I hit 35 mph today and got 3 feet of air off a jump, baby steps lol
Hey @TugHillMatt just drove through Springville where it snows 24/7. Everytime I drive through there it is snowing. 2 feet on the ground and moderate snow. Besides redfield I think Springville is one of snowiest cities in the east.
