Thanks for your response J Spin. I think that was someone else, I never had that in my signature but I have kidded in the past that I live in Dendriteland. I do feel that my weather is much more in line with NNE. This year because we have had fewer synoptic storms I can't really join in the fun that the posters that live in the Greens or people like Alex or Phin that live in the Whites since I don't get upslope snow. In that regard, I along with the Maine guys have been left out but all in all, year after year I generally do very good. Just being able to look outside and see a solid snowpack makes me happy. There has been lots of talk in the past about where CNE starts and ends. If you were to include the entire state of Maine, heck we would all live in S or CNE. Broadly I take CNE from the Mass line north to me which includes the Lakes Region of NH. As soon as you get to the Southern Whites (which is about 10 miles north of me) you are in solid NNE climate. It gets more complicated in VT because the Green Mountain spine goes all the way south to the Mass line so Vermonters get more snow and less of a marine influence, hence a colder, snowier winter. Everyone has there own interpretation and all and all I am very happy as to where I live as far a winter weather is concerned.
Today ended up being a great example. Solid snow cover, temperatures staying in the teens with snow falling at various rates all day. Speaking to that my neighbors rented out their house this week to a Washington DC area family that wanted to get out of town with all the inauguration activity. The family has 2 boys and they have been outside sledding and playing in the snow non stop the last few days. It's stuff like this we take for granted but kids don't get many opportunities down there for winter type fun.
