PA ski and ride folks refer to their areas as MASH. Mid-Atlantic Ski Hell.

Western PA = Midwest. Eastern PA = Mid-Atlantic.

I can't believe I am actually chiming in on this subject....

People (& media outlets) are confusing/mixing up the type of storm with the location of the storm. The STORM is a "Northeaster", meaning the prevailing wind direction will be coming form Northeast, and implies nothing about the location of the storm. Now lets shut this thread down, because no one in the Northeast will benefit from this major "Northeast Storm".

I consider the "Northeast" to mean New England and New York. You might argue whether or not New Jersey should be included in "Northeast" or "Mid Atlantic", but nothing else even remotely qualifies.

And lol at Virgina being considered the Northeast.

Between this thread and the central VT vs souther VT thread one might think this was an argumentative geography forum, rather than an argumentative ski forum.

Reminds me of an old joke:

An old codger sitting on his front porch in New hampshire is watching a couple of surveyors working in the road and asks what they are doing. " well it turns out the state line was actually wrong and your property is in Maine, not New Hampshire."
Old codger. "Good, I couldn't stand another New hampshire winter."


And since when ain't Ny and CT in the northeast?

What the hell did I start?

I always thought Pennsyltucky was a southern state since it has Philadelphia in the east, Pittsburgh in the west and Alabama in the middle. West Virginny is a whole different geographical location. They're from another planet.

whole buncha pickups gonna be in the ditch this weekend, I reckon.

Ha NY Mid Atlantic ?

NY, NJ, PA are Northeast. That stuff to the north and east is New England. Calling Virginia the Northeast is a massive geography fail.

I'd much rather live in Pennsyltucky than in Pittsburgh or Philadelphia.

x-post from the weather forum....

Consider this:
Areas near Washington DC may pick up 24"+ (35" if you believe the clown shoes totals predicted by the NAM) of snow from this storm. Burke Mtn in northern Vermont is reporting a total snowfall of 31" for the year so far! :???:

What is the deal with all of the south running major snow storms in recent years. Last year we were tortured by ridiculous snowfalls in southern New England while living in an ice box up here in the north with barely enough snow to bother wearing snowshoes. WTH!!!!!

While we're doing all this redistricting can we kick Connecticut out of New England?...lump it in with New York and New Jersey in the "Mid-Atlantic"

I'm voting for that! Just don't tell me that is another one of Trump's platforms. I already have to vote for him because he going to deport all of the snowboarders.
