But in the argument about northern winter over southern summer: I can go out in both. I can do things in both. I will be uncomfortable in both, perhaps. But in Florida I put on my shorts and go out. Here I snowblow for an hour, shovel, spread 50-100 lb of salt, drive 3 mph and risk lots of accidents to go out. I can't wait to move south for good.
We are on Wachusett Mountain and this isn't helping their skiing. People prefer powder to ice sheets.

I imagine most people can compare your mountain weather to life elsewhere. Obviously, you’re going to have extremes in comparison.
