I can 100% say fuck snow as a Worcester resident
Parking bans are terrible
They do a shit job plowing, or keeping the roads not completely iced over
Mother nature can keep the snow

Reply to comment by redheelermama in The current housing market in a nutshell by LopsidedWafer3269
Colorado is still pretty good! We are finding homes in Colorado Springs in our former neighborhood for 430k 2700 sq ft nice quiet neighborhood.
Looked at 3 BR apartments as well and see places for over $1000 less that what we pay. In fact we found a 3300 ft house for 2500. 5 BR as well so Colorado is where we will go with in the year.

You are correct. $50 is about the bottom for a full day ticket. Whaleback or Bradford, even Jiminy has a lower mountain pass for $49. Not sure what type of deal you are looking for. Movies are $20 for 2 hours! Perhaps it is me, but it seems 50 for 8 hours of ski time is still decent.

I know we did here in Springfield! The snow piles we shoveled were going over my head by the first week of February (so over six feet).

From late January to Mid march, Boston received ~100" of snow, or about 1.4 Pedroia worth of white joy.

Yeah, they're great for trail running but lousy for roads. I either use screw shoes or studded running shoes (Icebugs). The studs compress up into the soles like on snow tires.

>it sucks for someone like me who fucking loves snow
You sure you're from here?
No, I kid, I kid. I agree, this "winter" is anything but winter. I'm not going to get ahead of it though, we learned from 2015 very badly. There wasn't much snow up to mid-January then either, but then BLAM, 12 feet of snow in like six weeks. Boston's winter gods are sneaky that way.

Didn't we get essentially no snow last year until the end of January when 24" dropped like an anvil on the town?

being a boston native, i welcome this change. having to shovel out your car every 2 hours after it gets plastered with tow snow as well as people saving spots or stealing yours is just stressful. fuck it and fuck the snow!

Four single-session tickets at Wachusett costs around $240. If you ski more than once or twice a year, you buy used skis in the summer, you don't need lessons, and you bring food from home. If only one parent skis, it's under $200 with two kids.
It's not nothing, but it isn't restricted to "rich people", and it doesn't cost $500. If you really love skiing, you buy a season pass, and you save significantly. My point isn't that it's free, or that it isn't a luxury -- it absolutely is -- but rather that it isn't reserved for folks in the 1%. Stuff like Vail buying out our local slopes (ugh, Okemo) sucks, and supporting smaller mountains helps to keep it from becoming something akin to what you see in CO or CA.

We don’t want a repeat of winter 2019-20. Because then everything will shut down in March!
January 23 is still 5 days away. What’s forecasted for that date can still change significantly.
