Yeah so maybe you lack in retention or big boy storms, but if you live there and will care about weather...you would have a little more meteorological fun vs. areas to the east.
I never looked at the area near albany in depth much as far as snow goes, by I know SW of Albany where Logan11 is at 1100’ does darn well since what scraps of CAD there is.....that gets a boost when you lift it to 1100’ ASL.
