One thing to also consider is whether you like big storms or lots of little ones. For instance, Woodford VT in far southern VT jackpots on virtually every coastal storm whereas things up in the NE of Vermont frequently get shadowed by the Whites in some of the bigger storms. In the 7 years I lived in Peacham we never got more than 15 inches in a storm but a couple years ago here in Norwich we got 18 inches twice int the same week but in Peacham there were times when in snowed everyday for weeks on end.
