This often seemed to me to be a nice climate. You get to see snow, but not enough to cause a lot of trouble or seasonal irritation. Interestingly, no top 30 MSA gets this much, except Seattle. Requires going to smaller metros like Richmond, VA, Nashville, or Oklahoma City. But it seems people migrated to large sunbelt places like Atlanta, DFW, LA, Houston, and Phoenix which get less than 5 inches, or live in large established places like NY, Boston, Philly, DC, Chicago, Denver which get 15 or more.
But do you think this is a good climate? Would you want to live somewhere that got 5-10 inches of snow per year?
My dream climate averages 20"/year. Less than 15" and snow is kind of rare and I think I would always be wishing for more. More than 30" and snow would probably become a nuisance.
I like lots of snow. Bring on the winter. I live in a climate that gets around 15-ish and I'm always wanting more...like how the person who only smells the food from outside the restaurant remains hungry. It's quite disappointing, especially like last winter when there were multiple days in FEBRUARY with LOWS above freezing.

With the exception of Minneapolis, all US major cities usually get a few winter days with highs above freezing.
Washington, DC only gets about 15 inches, so they could also be included with this thread.
To answer the original question, I would prefer much more snow than just 15 inches.
Oh, highs above freezing are not unusual at all. I was saying my area had LOWS above freezing in what should be "the dead of winter".
How is that odd? Isn't your average low like 15-20, and doesn't the Midwest have variable winter temperatures?
