You're going to be surprised at how well you do in your new house, used to have an office in Westborough and they always did better than me and I live west.
As cool as it was having a good snow storm in October is was a royal PIA, no power or internet, couldn't work for a few days, lost a freezer full of meat. I have a genny now but wont shed a tear if we don't get another one.
I usually see spiders around my house and basement every year. One year I didnt see any and thought it was odd. It was a long humid stretch in August and one night coming home I shined my flashlight on the foundation and there were hundreds of centipedes. My foundation was literally covered with them I bought some WP Demon and sprayed the foundation twice in a week to finally get rid of most of them. Wiz would have passed out at the site of centipedes.
They have my town as 6.5 inches, I had more than that but its probably because of my elevation compared to where they take official measurements. went without power for 6 days, don't want to relive that so I bought a generator.
