Adirondacks (about 3 hours from you)
Wow beautiful there- I have been all over the Adirondacks. We would go every summer when I was growing up- Tupper Lake, Eagle Crag Lake and Canada Lake, such beautiful times spent there!
EDIT: My hubby and son go up there to snowmobile in the winter- snow then was up to the roof tops, so yes you get some heavy snowfall too!
That happened to Buffalo a couple of years ago 7 ft of snow in 1 day! Nasty!
