Plus that part of upstate ny is flat, so not generally that pretty. If you want snow both from synoptic and occasional lake effect I would pick somewhere between Albany, Syracuse and Binghamton. The I-88 corridor often gets slammed from the more inland runner systems like 3/14/17 and gets some lake effect. Also close to skiing and only a few hours from NYC. Living costs also very reasonable.

Cfa Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I never hear anyone mention how gloomy it is Upstate. I’d go nuts. We actually do quite well relative to the rest of Mid-Atlantic states, only coastal SE Virginia is sunnier. I’m assuming the greater atmospheric stability near the coast inhibits cloud formation to an extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close enough to benefit from noreasters and yet they also get remnants of lake effects streamers often enough, so there's both heavy wet snow and the postcard light dry snow that falls for days.

Southern Greens, VT. I’m at close to 2k feet between Stratton and mount snow. I average over 125” some years the area can get closer to 200, especially in the resort peaks. Wilmington, Dover, Manchester all very nice towns. Ski, golf, fall foliage, a larger year-round presence now. Beautiful lush rolling green mountains. I stole both my log cabins for under $120k each, both a bit over 1k square feet. Right place, right time. Can be there from my home camp on Jersey shore in an average 4.5 hours, often closer to 4. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been doing a winter rental with friends in the general Stratton area for years. I absolutely love it there, and would like to experience more than just winter. I have witnessed some blockbuster storms there over the years. My favorite stretch was March 18. 3 storms back to back 18”, 36” and 20”. That’s a snow pack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcanic Winter Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I haven’t been to VT since I was a kid and I’d love to get back there. My wife and I have made tentative plans the past couple years but just ultimately have delayed, we also want to do a longer trip from there and go up to Canada in winter. I’m a little crazy in the cold season. We’ve done Iceland now four times, including this past fall which is early Icelandic winter. We toured the north which is a little ballsy that time of year, as conditions can range from fine to literally damn near polar / glaciated depending on weather. It ain’t fluffy snow pack, to be sure, this was like the densest, iciest, break your neck with one wrong step kind of stuff I’ve ever been on, and dammit I loved every second of being out there. There’s a few very cool volcanic systems in the north I wanted to visit, and the Icelandic landscape with snowcover can’t be beat. I’d live there were it practical. Fun fact we caught a crazy ice storm out of nowhere leaving this place in our vehicle, and had something like a two hour drive in normal conditions back to Akureyri the northern capital, and it was an absolutely shitshow out there. We had to take a windy mountain pass where the road surface was completely frozen over and there was no guard rail to a several hundred foot tumble if you lose it. It was pretty harrowing, and you can get in a bad way pretty easily if you’re careless. But it’s so unbelievably beautiful out there, and we always approach things slow and cautiously. We really needed light crampons or ice spikes for the conditions we were in and the stuff we were doing, but we made it work. Next time I’ll have some different gear with me. Amazing time, though. Don’t you know I think about Iceland every single day of our infernal hellscape summer season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Now you know why NYC climate classification was changed to SUB-TROPICAL CONTINENTAL three years ago. Almanacs from the 60's show a normal low of 68/69 and now it is 71/72 for July. We seem to be beating even that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but you give out weenies to people sometimes just for making reasonable posts about expectations. Remember in late June when we had that pattern where NJ got crushed but very little rain got to NYC and east. There was a day that you claimed that NYC was about to get hit. I made the point that all the activity in NJ was moving north and nothing was on track to hit NYC. You gave me a weenie for that post. What happened? The rain stayed in NJ and NYC didn't get hit. It's very odd that you give weenies to reasonable posts as often as you do. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
