Would easily be wiling to deal with a decade+ of shitty winters for that tradeoff. No contest...

Even NYC is looking at 20"+ when all said and done, which (believe or not) would still only be a top 5 storm.

been fortunate to go over 20 here a couple times as an adult here on the northside but it's rare air

30+ with 80 mph is tough and hard to imagine
