Speaking of Summerville, this evening we discovered what Maine does with all its snow. They make ice cubes and send them to the Publix in Summerville, SC.
Snow
- Thread starter seadaddler
- Start date
Good to know that if we get all teary eyed, missing the northeast once we move down. We can always make a drink with some nice, cold northeast ice.
Don't knock this weather. It is why it looks like this up here

Will... I just got back from visiting my mother-in-law down in Hallandale Beach, Florida, and that picture you posted shows her apartment... too funny. Yes, I agree on preferring New England weather... I'm from Vermont, where it looks kind of like that New Hampshire picture you posted, only Vermont has far FEWER people... not as crowded as it is in your picture of NH. 
Todd,
That is a picture taken out my back window. When I look out at night, I see a total of 4 house lights on the hills across the valley to the right of the frame. Not even in the picture. There is, however, a small plume off steam rising up from Pinetree Power, a small wood powered power plant, between us and Mount Washington. The cloud doesn't usually get high enough to actually block the view of the mountain.

Will... I was kidding about your photo looking crowded... beautiful spot. Much like where I grew up in VT. I've hiked Mount Washington there many times... spectacular place.
I didn't mind the Monday 4/2 snow so bad, because the 4" when I left for work was all melted by the time I got home. Now, considering I gave the car its annual bath on Saturday, well, I'm not so pleased by that. Weather forecasts for SE PA are saying we may get MORE snow on Saturday 4/7. I'm not too pleased by that, considering the marina opened 4/1. Not that my boat is ready to go back in yet...
Ahh, I'm a little dense at times. I thought you were counting the chickens.
Really, once you get north of Nashua and Manchester, the people just disappear. Well, not on holidays, then you are in traffic until Lincoln. In Vermont, it happens as soon as you leave Massachusetts behind.

Hey Will, I prefer the bottom picture
Will I don't believe you are being totally fair with your pictures! I am sure there are plenty of areas south of the NE that are without people within eye sight. WV comes to mind. I for one would take the second picture. Alas I am still here in the Great state of NJ (with pun intended) due to Grand Children. But I do manage to escape to Pine Island and the Keys every chance I get. I guess to each is own.Don't knock this weather. It is why it looks like this up hereView attachment 148347

You are right. And I spend a lot of time in Florida where there are very few people. I love the Keys, route 1 excepted, but There is no where in NH that looks like that picture, even on the coast. Boston, that is another story

Will, from a marketing perspective you have a challenge. The aversion of popular places is counter to finding individuals willing to finance your interest in art as an income source. Only dead artists are the ones who are financially successful in the absense of people willing to support the arts..
Perhaps you will need a gallery in a populous location willing to show and sell your creations.

I've got mountain views from my office window in our townhouse in New Jersey and aside from a few twinkling lights on I-80, it is largely unobstructed by any human evidence (unless you count the flight path of some airliners). We're pretty much unobstructed from our community to the ridge that runs along the Delaware River, about 15 miles away. NJ ain't all bad!
If you ever watched that movie about the Englishman who walked up a hill and came down a mountain, you would know that they considered 1,000 vertical feet a mountain. We have those. I grew up in Illinois ... I don't have particularly lofty standards for mountains! Appalachian Trail is just 12 miles from our house, as the crow flies.
Either way, we don't have to leave NJ to find some nice scenery.

One of my favorite views is approaching the Delaware Water Gap from either direction, with a preference for seeing it from the NJ side as it means I'm getting away from the Metro NY craziness!
If that ridge makes the cut as a mountain, then it has to be the one of the smallest ones on earth.
