We're kinda in-between. Culturally more NYC than New England, but we're a sort of boundary area between both forums.

Weather wise, we are definitely not NYC or even their suburbs. From everything I have read/seen we average around 40-45 inches here. Not being from around here, this area has more of a New England vibe than it does a NYC/NJ one.

It does, even the NYC CT suburbs closer to NYC (Darien, New Canaan etc..) have much more of a NE feel than the NYC NJ suburbs. Especially the heavily wooded areas. Lots of old time NE there.

Reminds me of the Metrowest suburbs around here, just with bigger homes there. Idk, maybe it's all the rockwalls

It’s a new england vibe from architecture, culture, topography, and climate but geographically I still consider us a far northern burb of nyc. Danbury has a big population that works in the city and being in the same nws coverage area or a NYC sports fan also causes me to lean my thinking a bit more. But, it’s close imo.

That's about the same snow as sites in the Jersey Highlands 25-50 miles west of NYC, but many of that area's residents work much closer to Gotham, so culturally the vibe is NYC/Jersey.

That to me is a very New England thing, even more SNE than anything.  I think of Woodstock, CT when I think of rock walls.  They border like every property.

Yeah we're like 40-45" average yearly. It's definitely New England, but it feels different than the rest of the state. At least to me. And the commuter patterns include the city and NY transplants. NYC Metro includes Fairfield County and sometimes New Haven County in the more ambitious maps.
