Reply to comment by rudyattitudedee in Got this sometime ago. USGS doesn't have this level of accuracy in their maps. by Peanut-Donut

as someone from rural NY who keeps an eye out for more northern land to move to when my kids are grown, im surprised aging hippies are that far south. See i try to get as close to the great north as humanly possible without revoking citizenship. (it's honestly a weather thing for me, i really really like snow and rural back country. I was a trail worker and worked for parks and i just need constant snow n cold.

i see snowmobile country, but may i ask, is there periodical thaws during the winter or does it just stay frozen? i need consistency. it thaws way too much where i'm at. i need snow from november to march. are there already too many people moving there?

As someone who was born and raised in Vermont, IMO hippies want a sense of community without the commercialization. That means small towns bordering bigger towns. And there are no bigger towns north of Concord that aren't complete yuppy enclaves.

Tbh i have no idea what yuppy enclaves means is that like Littleton, Berlin and Gorham? Because in my eyes you nailed what hippies want and I think those are some northern towns that might have it.

I'd probably be described as at least hippie adjacent and probably a yuppie by definition.. If im being honest.... /r/SRTie4k nailed it on the head. Concord's a sweet spot in many ways

This year was mild but we only had a January thaw. This week is the first time my driveway got muddy. Most of Coos county has towns with around 2,000-5,000 residents with smaller villages dotted in between.

sounds nice, but that january thaw would piss me right the fuck off. I'm close to buffalo, and i still get annoyed that we don't have enough snow fall. I might have to move to canada, hope they'll take me.

You were born two decades too late. Frozen-ground-all-winter doesn't happen in the Northeast US any more.

Your best bet is Pittsburg but I know many people who didn’t get to spend as much time on the sled as they wanted this year due to poor coverage. But the last few years prior even south western sledding towns like Washington have great trail systems that get groomed on main trails and can have a pretty long season.
