I love snow, too. But I don't think I'd like to permanently live someplace that gets a lot of snow or someplace much colder for longer than it gets in Philly. I like the change of seasons plus a moderate winter. I can drive a couple hours north to the Pocono Mts. if I want to see more snow or go skiing, snowboarding. Too bad the closest ice racing (cars on frozen lakes) is up in NY State, but it doesn't get cold enough down here.
This year so far in the Philadelphia area we've had only a very light dusting of snow, literally a fraction of an inch, like about a week ago. Today it was 65F out. It's starting to rain now as the Eagles are kicking Cleveland butt in today's Monday night football game. A few days ago it was just below freezing in the low 30's. I'm pretty sure that soon we'll be getting some normal snow fall.
It seems like a pretty typical weather pattern this year, nothing really unusual as far as how it seems to me, though I haven't looked at actual weather statistics for this Fall/Winter.
