I used to live in N.Y. I sold out and moved south. If I never see snow again that's fine with me. We do get snow once a year maybe, but it's gone in two days.
My older sister lives in Maine. I used to call her up at the end of Feburary and say "I tilled my garden today".
I don't do that anymore though because I found out she is usually depressed enough about having two more months of snow.
