On your charts I'm kinda in a no mans land of sorts.
Syracuse Metro is waaaaaaaaay outside my comfort zone.
Utica MSA is well inside my comfort zone.
And I'm half way between them. But Oneida is mind body and spirit a part of Syracuse (the locals, not me).
I wonder was LVG would think if her husband had to drive through here today. The roads are still barely plowed wider then a goat path. I bet its 2 hours to Fayetteville today (I wouldn't try it myself, even with 4 wheel drive).

As far as she was involved with this thread the difference between the two places wouldn't amount to a hill of beans. The weather blows exactly the same in both. Believe me I would no more try and make it to New Hartford on these roads then Fayeteville.
For one, she isn't looking in with city. Second, both have good and bad neighborhoods in that regard. Third, the crime rates are close between the two cities according to the city-data website: https://www.city-data.com/crime/crime...-New-York.html
So, that isn't true and keep in mind that Syracuse is almost 2 and a half times bigger in terms of population than Utica. Either way, one's lifestyle is key in terms of crime around here.
No big deal about a preference, but I think proper information would only help LVG. While the Utica-Rome area offers quite a bit for its size, Syracuse being a bigger metro will just offer more in the immediate area.
One step closer! Husband gave 2 weeks notice at current job. His official start date is Jan 21st. I will probably move with kids in March so I may miss snow this year. Ya think.?

We got quite a bit, but the area DPW's are usually pretty good about snow removal on the streets.
You should miss the snow, but it may snow occasionally snow in late March/early April.
March is always cold gloomy and windy but for snowfall I wouldn't even take a guess.
Just to make a point of your generalisations-
Sometimes March is sunny and beautiful but usually yes, it's just winter winding down to spring. But March is NOT always "cold gloomy and windy." You know this, especially considering the warm spell we had - to say the least - THIS past March. Syracuse March Weather 2012 - AccuWeather Forecast for NY 13202
As someone who doesn't much like heat and streaks of glaring sunshine, I did think that this past March was somewhat miserable... because it was like summer.
In the recent past - within several years - it has been 70 in early January and has snowed on Mother's Day. Syracuse is well-known for freak weather, which is why it is a mecca for aspiring meteorologists to study. We're at the center of several different growing regions and sets of weather patterns. It makes predicting the weather difficult.
The past 3 St. Patrick Days have been in the mid 60's to low 70's and sunshine. This I know because I always take the day off to do a pub crawl on Tipp Hill, in Syracuse LVG.
Sean, if you hate it here so much then why not move? Life is way to damn short to be miserable about your surroundings. Or am I misunderstanding and that you reside in Utica?
