    Oh totally agree.  I'm asking what your personal tradeoff is, if say you had to move south?  How much would you have to gain in elevation to feel like you weren't losing out from your prior position?  Yes a random inquiry I know, but these are the roads my brain goes down at times ha.

    It wouldn’t matter as much moving south because the annual snowfall drops off so much.   Minus the smoky mountains why live up higher if all you gain is a windy ridge that doesn’t snow.

    Oh brother.  Are we going to be getting spammed with sales going on at Mr Ed's (Cash's) candy when you become the new owner?  One free chocolate golf ball per customer. 

    My sister lives near there and always has more snow than me.  Drives me nuts.   I’m the one keeping official weather records

    That you are.  This brings to mind something I have thought about in the past, that being, in terms of negating expected snowfall losses, how much would you be willing to give up in latitude to gain in elevation?  For example, I think I would would want to gain at least roughly 100 feet in elevation for every 10 miles I moved south, or something to that effect.  To put this in perspective, as the crow flies I'm about 25 miles north of the Maryland border, so I'd want to gain 250' in elevation if I moved there. Thoughts from others??

    Elevation by far outweighs latitude for me.   I’m actually going to be putting my house for sale soon to move higher up.   My goal is at least 1400ft.

    You know my measuring is approx.  LOL.  But the snow lays on those lights immediately and accums well in that snow cone like lump.  Similar to a patio table.  No melting from the ground temps. 

    I gotcha.   Similar to measuring off a deck, the snow has a dome effect which magnifies the totals.  I was told not to measure off the deck even though it makes for a good pic.

    At 9:00am in Carlisle the temperature is down to 29.5 degrees.  During the past hour only an additional 0.3" of snow has fallen (sadly).  This brings the storm total to 1.5".  Winds have been variable between <5mph to up to 15mph.  The snow intensity was never more than moderate and with fine flakes not much accumulated.  Let's see what the next hour brings.

    I believe best rates of day are going to be in band forming among 81.  Just getting in to it now.

    Golf is going to take a beating for a few days but Sunday could be one of the best skiing days of the year.  Its a shit show out there right with people trying to ski on fake snow at 60 degrees. 

    Mowed greens for the first time earlier this week since last December.   Can’t control it, but not ideal for getting anything done
