I've been to New Hampshire. Those are more like big hills than mountains. There is supposedly one spot that has ice year-round, but I could not find any ice.

Mt Washington, New Hampshire is a real mountain for sure. The summit has some of the strongest winds on earth. Hardcore skiers strap their skis on their back, hike up and ski the backside, called Tuckerman's Ravine. I've hiked the mountain and when I was 20 years old, skied Tuck's Ravine, at least the lower part .

Your spot on. The Adirondacks in NY are pretty big. But nothing back east has snow caps in the summer.

I lived in northern NH in a town called Littleton. Those white mountains are gorgeous and very rugged. you folks are way too picky. The smokies of TN, the green mountains of VT..the white mountains in NH..the Adirondacks of NY....the blue ridge mountains in VA...the mountains in the black hills of SD....the mountains in WV....are all breath taking. And the fall colors are way more prettier then out west.

The Ozarks are the South, not the Midwest. The Ohio Valley region is far more like the Midwest than the Ozarks, even though it is also strongly influenced by the South.

Mt. Washington has the observatory at the summit with an auto road and cog railroad that go to the summit. At 6,288 ft it is the highest peak in the Northeast and is above tree line. However, it is not snow capped the entire year. Typical high temperatures in July at the summit are around 50F. In Winter it is common to see around 15 feet of snowfall with low temperatures approaching -40F at the coldest. Average January high temperatures on the summit are mostly below 5F.

I would move to Littleton region for sure, but too few jobs in my career field, GIS and IT there. Lots of people retire in that area, and especially the Lakes Region to the south which is what I will likely be doing.

800 a month for a 2 bedroom? Thats cheap! I know the suburbs of Columbus are up and coming. But I could never be a Brown's fan. Sorry bro......

You can't match the colors of New England in the fall ! But they still have no snow capped Mt's in August. That's all I am referring to about the mountains.
