nw baltimore wx Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Watching ESPN and looking at the PGA tourney postponed because of snow. An inch on the ground.

TUweathermanDD Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yes most years it heart breaks.. wonder why so many snow lovers on this forum don't move? Comes down to economical reasons and the fact that anyone with a wife and kids and not in the upper middle class (thats not entirely pertinent but in some instances) can't really up and move for their love of snow. I mean the misses might not like the same kind of weather, but one should hope to find one who does like psuhoffman's girlfriend. All and all, it is more wishful thinking for most, only a select group is it easily plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Problem with snow is you generally need to live somewhere cold and boring to get it. No thanks. Only way I'd move for snow is if was to the Sierra or something and I doubt it would be just for snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way I'd move for snow is if was to the Sierra or something and I doubt it would be just for snow.That's true, there are nice little towns in the lake belts in Michigan UP which also get synoptic snows, Marquette area for example, which have nice waterfront/lake front views and nice tight knit communities.Also like some places on the LP west coast. Even Madison, WI isn't bad. Yes cold, but nice places. Other nice areas which maybe aren't as cold and give some snow fix are in the mountains mainly, Maine, as they don't get AS cold as the upper MW, and its a nice place according to many. The lake belts and mountains are more guaranteed snow locales or at least odds are in your favor way more than even Madison which I mentioned, as they need synoptic systems. I even like Worcester, or thereabouts. Seems viable for many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All and all, it is more wishful thinking for most, only a select group is it easily plausible. Yes that is very true, just good to set dreams and goals and work towards them while you are young. I am working to move out to the west coast (Oregon) with part of my family the one who is 8 (kids are late high school and college) Lots of work and challenges to make that happen but with in a few years I will have snow capped mountains in my view and can go to a snow field year round. I will be 50 or nearly so by then so maybe it is never to late? Oh and the snow is an extra benefit, there is a long list of other reasons we want the adventure of moving across the country.

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Someone earlier mentioned that their wife might not like snow enough to move for it. It made me think of the Dec storm in 2009. My mother in law had come up for Christmas, I had been booted to the spare bedroom so my wife, mother in law, and dog could lay in the bed and watch tv all night. Well, I was so excited that I slept until about 5 that morning, watched it snow for about 3 hours, and then decided I'd check on the rest of the family. When I went in my wife asked if it snowed. I said its awesome and it's pouring. I was so excited I was like a little kid. She rolled over and went back to sleep. Didn't even look out the window. You think I'm moving for snow?

There was one dude from Long Island (don't recall his screen name) that relocated his family to northern Michigan in a lake effect area. He seemed to really like it there for a couple of years, posted pics of the snow all around his property each winter, loved the area he lived in for other reasons too beside the snow. Then he said he was moving to South Carolina this was only a few years later....LOL. I guess the snow honeymoon was short lived. Not sure if he ever made it to Americanwx.

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 i dont always agree with the deletions but not sure why people can't banter in this thread either. I could understand if there's an imminent threat or a REAL storm possibility, but we've not had much of those. We have a pretty regular crowd here so what does it hurt to have a couple of one liners here and there. I mean we are in that thread for two reasons, not one. One is obviously to discuss potential threats, and the other is to have a community discussion. Part of that feeling of community is the back and forth. It's often more appropriate to respond with "banter" in that thread because that's where it fits. It would lose a lot if you had to run over to the banter thread to post it. You do it, Randy does it, heck, we ALL do it. It's what makes it fun to be here. Even I can look at a model and tell the chance for a snow event Friday doesn't look good (but not impossible). I don't need a weather board and mets to tell me that. It's the community and it's personalities that bring me here. If we lose that, then we've lost a big portion of what makes AmWx great. Just one mans opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
