I currently live north of Syracuse NY and getting sick of the deep snow. I am considering retiring to “lakefront living” and I’m curious how the summers and winters are in the pictured area. I’ve included pics from last winter for reference. Attached File Attached File Attached File |

You'll want AC in the summer. Window units can do it. Occasional decent sized dumps, but definitely not as bad as your lake affect snow in the winter. Also, the closer you get to the seacoast the warmer it will get in the winter. This was Holderness by Squam Lake a couple years ago. I've since moved further north. Big Tex 60PI-12 and Ariens Platinum 30 SHO for scale. Attached File March 4th photo, so towards the end of winter with the accumulation. |

I’m in the 101 area of that picture. We typically get one or two storms a year where we get a foot of snow but typically it’s 2-6”. Easy enough that you can run it over and not worry about it depending on your needs. Winnapasaukee does have a lake effect and get fresh snow more frequently which is great for the ski mountains. Summers can get hot like today was 89°. This was February 11th. Attached File Attached File |

I live in the Seacoast area and love it. Many on this board will tell you this area is too liberal but I know a bunch of Arfcommers around here. The beauty of this area, the quality of life, and the easy access to mountains, ocean, cities, culture, etc. is perfect for me. Oh, we do occasionally get big snowfalls.

I relocated to the North Country from the Syracuse Area like 9 years ago, the Snow Fall is similar to Cuse up in these parts, but it's just colder....the snow tends to stay instead of dump and melt. I found it to be an easy adjustment personally. It's just February well see like -25 or -30 real temp before sunrise in little spurts, but other than that it's standard winter stuff. |
| I grew up in Syracuse, if you live up north of there I know how much snow you get. We aren't even close to that here. Although we have all 4 seasons like central NY, winters and snowfall are definitely milder. It would absolutely be an improvement for you weather wise. Taxes and gun laws make it a no-brainer to live here instead of out there. |
 I live east of Concord, in an area with quite alot of small lakes and ponds. Winnipesaukee and Winnisquam are quite expensive, but the smaller bodies of water are just as nice and less crowded. Also, the area I live in gets just enough snow to make it worth while to buy a snow thrower, but not enough where you have to unbury your vehicle. |

My experience being on the southwest part of Lake Winnipesaukee for decades is that we get the anticipated storms (they’re pretty accurate at calling those) but also semi-daily flurries that move in fast and out equally as fast. Typical snow accumulation on the ground at any given time is 1-2feet. Power outages are rare in the winter too. Temps are typically in the 30-40’s in December and 20-30’s in Jan/Feb/March. Honestly winters really aren’t as bad as some make them out to be. And the spring/summer/fall more than makes up for the cold. I won’t even touch on our wonderful gun laws, or should I say lack thereof (and yes plenty of us shoot in the wintertime). The dry air does suck though, get yourself a hot mist humidifier for your bedroom |
