It's kind of unfortunate that I've always been so fixated on extreme weather considering the fact that I live in New England. Other than the west coast it's probably the worst area of the country for a severe weather enthusiast. Great Lakes and Plains regions get tornadoes and a lot more snow, southern states get hurricanes and tornadoes, Rocky mountains get a lot of snow.

New England much like the west coast has such a temperate climate that extremes are naturally rare. We all get excited over every mundane nor'easter and 40 mph wind gust because it's all we can get. Even the winters don't produce snow like they used to which was the one thing that we had going for us. Outside of a few random days in January or February, November through April is cloudy or raining, with maybe 20% of days having sun but nothing interesting. Summers are hot and humid but never produce big severe like other areas do. I can go on and on but yeah basically it sucks if you like extreme weather. If you love San Diego but like it colder with more rain come to New England.

Well I don't know if that's all true. We certainly have had our share of violent storms and severe winters. Recency bias.

Yesterday was a dark day for the forum. With violent outbursts and venom . A dark and doomsday scenario very similar to what the once great city of New York will soon experience. A real shame what went on.

Had .40 overnight . More than expected. Onto tracking the snowstorm next weekend.

Selling our winters a little short. Been a run of duds, but New England wins for annual snow per elevation in the Conus. Aside from the immediate lake effect zones, the Plains and Midwest get less than alot of New England

0.13" overnight, up to 48.5F and still cloudy.  Pond is still down about 4ft, lowest water level yet for this time of year, even drier than 2016 summer/autumn, it's always been full by the time it freezes up in late Nov.  Oak, beech, apple and birch leaves still hanging tough despite the many strong gusts over the past week.

Yeah he’s gone. Sure we had some duds but we’ve had some decent events too.

Bro, almost everything you said there is wrong. Lol.   But whatever.  Just so you know, Midwest and plains get less snow than most of New England.

Only .21 here. Lol at all the out of towners chirping in. Built it they will come.

In my case I was born and lived in New Hampshire as a young child, love keeping tabs on New England weather, especially northern New England. When I retire there's a decent chance I'll become a local again.

Aside from the snow part, what else did I say that was wrong? Lol As for the snow, I guess my main issue with that part is that New England isn't as consistently cold in the winter like it used to be and like the Midwest still is. I don't think anybody can deny that fact. I'm not saying that every month has to be February 2015 but still. When it comes to blizzards I have more of a wind fetish than snow I guess. I'd be more interested in the Midwest blizzards with 3-4 inches of snow with 70-80 mph winds than our 1-2 feet with 40-50 mph winds. At least their 4 inches of snow will last all winter because it stays cold whereas our foot of snow will be gone the next week. Idk

I don’t know…I don’t think the Midwest is as cold as you are saying it is? Maybe far northern Minnesota and The U.P. of Michigan , and far northern North Dakota sure, but other than those places I don’t know. But everybody likes different aspects of storms, so it’s all good.

I'm pretty sure that everything North of Kansas is colder than us in the winter. Just look at the climate data for places like Nebraska and Iowa in the winter. Even northern Missouri gets colder than us which is crazy. The ocean moderates tf out of us here. I can definitely see why some people like New england better with the massive amounts of snow in the blizzards, but like I said I find those high wind blizzards in the Midwest to be fascinating. Like a white hurricane.

Nrn MO is not where I would go for winter. Maybe you get a rogue 8” blizzard but you aren’t getting much for average snow. No thanks. Boring .

Lol at least you will cash in when we get another hurricane. But yeah if snow is your fetish then it definitely sucks.

Get a house somewhere in ern pym county or the cape. It sounds like you don’t care about total snow and just want violence. That is a violent place.

Snow melts the next day most is wind blown into the woods or against buildings. Flat non descript land

Obviously northern MO is not ideal I was just making a point about temperature. Personally I'd choose Denver or maybe Buffalo, New York for the most ideal climate.

Ya, this is what I was thinking too. Outside of the LES snow belts, and U.P. , New England sees more average snow imo than the Midwest in most cases.  Maybe I’m wrong…but that’s how I understood it.

Snow melts the next day? In the upper Midwest? That part is surprising. Like I said I like high wind blizzards the best. 70-80 mph blizzard would be fun. The closest I've ever seen here is Nemo in 2013. I don't count the Cape and Islands because other than 2005 they always mix with rain in those events

Denver is not really exciting aside from rapid temp changes. You may get the ocnl supercell in June. 
 

Buffalo will melt snow in 2 days, but maybe you’ll see 5’ in the south towns. Is and then.
