If you don't mind the cold and this is your dream job with good pay I'd say go for it. Plus, if you really want to be a homeowner on 1 income it shouldn't be an issue in that area. Go luck on the interview!

Bristol Mountain get's most of it's snow from Lake Erie, same as the south towns, and they were open last year, May 1. Not so rare

There is a story in the Buffalo News today saying there is still ice on Lake Erie. I ran out of free views, otherwise I'd provide the link.

Another thing, a few years ago the region successfully testified that the Ice Boom, used to keep ice from the intakes for the hydro plant deferred summer by 3 days.

In the article: “Area skiers and snowboarders got a rare spring treat at Bristol Mountain on May 1.”

When I was still working and interviewing people I would get folks from Aspen, Hawaii, San Diego and other places with fabulous weather and I would invariably ask them "why are you moving here". 99.999% said it was for family. I sincerely doubt the OP would like Buffalo after SoCal. One winter and they would be on the first plane back.

Cost of living and a job you want are pretty good factors. Central coast has a lot of natural beauty, but its cost of living versus jobs available are pretty bad and that holds true for a lot of traditionally desirable places. Then filter it out with the probability of getting a job that you really actually want.
