Actually, you can find a subtropical highland climate in Baguio,The Philippines.
What defines a "subtropical highland climate?" It is hard for me to imagine any place in the Philippines having the same climate as Boone, NC, especially with that kind of snowfall.

Boone might be a "microclimate" a concept that is quite well known in many parts of the world. but apparently doesn't occur so much in the United States. A microclimate is a small area, often only a few square miles, in which the climate is distinctly different from the surrounding area, for no obviously apparent reason.
In the USA, Microclimate usually refers to a man-made phenomenon, such as a large asphalt parking lot or an area shaded by tall buildings. But they can naturally occur without human intervention, and account for claims of "deserts" in places like England and Maine.
When I walk to my supermarket I pass diagonally across a large open field, and there is one spot at which it feels much hotter than the surrounding field on hot summer days, for an area about 20 paces across, but it looks exactly like the rest of the field. The hot spot is always in the same place. A larger microclimate is the area around Beloit, in north central Kansas, which is very often the hottest place in Kansas during a summer heat wave.
If you don't mind blazing a trail through the woods and you're a fair swimmer, you can actually drive a logging road to the neck of that peninsula, from the Canadian side, and walk in there and perform the exercise in about an hour or two.

I can't think of anything micro about Boone that wouldn't be experienced up and down the Blue Ridge Mountains from North Georgia up through Virginia and West Virginia. Well, outside of the north/south range in temperature. The North Georgia mountains will be milder than West Virginia. Boone is in the middle of this.
The volume (normal capacity) of ultra-deep Lake Tahoe (CA-NV) is greater than the volume of Lakes Mead (AZ-NV), Great Salt (UT), Powell (UT-AZ), and Sakakawea (ND) combined.

What do you think about all those grass paths nearby?
Montana is the only state in the USA bordered by three(3) Canadian provinces.
