I feel your pain, living just up the road from you. Since moving back to Maryland in 2016, I haven't had more than 6" of snow in one event. That being said, living in Monkton near the NCR Trail will definitely position you far better in the long term. Trust me, you're going to have events in the coming years where it snows more where you are than your old place. Plus you have the NCR Trail which is amazing in the snow.
