Yes, we have jobs lined up already. We actually were just up yesterday to look for homes. It was lovely with all the snow. The cold wasn't bad all. The streets seemed fine.

Yes, we do get more snow and it does stay colder longer, but unless you're by the NH coast, the humidity is much lower than Philly, which means that the snow we do get is much lighter (and therefore MUCH easier to shovel). In terms of temperature, the low humidity does make it feel much warmer than Philly. There's nothing that cuts straight through you than humid air...

I have a question about this. I always thought the humidity was higher and damper the closer you get to the ocean. Am I wrong? I would think the humidity would be much less inland.
