Nittany88 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 <blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="forkyfork" data-cid="1976167" data-time="1357071736"><p>upslope snow is fake, like les<br /> <br /> the best place for snow in the contiguous US is northern maine since it's all synoptic</p></blockquote> This is true...but like last year proved, upslope fake snow is much better than no snow. We had two months in last years abortion with over 12" of snow on the ground under 1000ft elevation. That wouldn't have been possible without upslope. It may be fake but it looks white and feels like snow. Think of it like an insurance policy in poor winters. Plus the upslope favored regions of VT/MA can cash in big time on synoptic storms storm too, unlike some of the LES areas. So its a double bonus.

ChrisM Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 The berks area is really the only place that gets respectable snow in sne. I guess Norfolk ct area is second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably be at my place of employment for a little while anyways so the thought of moving north is there, but then it's a disaster commute for the wife. Fam and friends are on the s-shore, so I'll probably move a bit closer to there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a beautiful area, but seems like a desolate place outside of Northhampton. I mean at least in VT you have the ski towns that have great places and a good vibe...probably decent schools too I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
