Fun fact: There are still a bunch of existing Mason-Dixon stones.
That's cool. But it's not the most interesting thing in this picture. Is that a buffalo in the background? Wolly Mammoth? and what the heck is over on the right??? Predator?
Obviously a Woolly Mammoth preserve and that's a WM statue on the right

Looks like a huge rolled bale of hay that under it's own weight went oblong.

The wooly mammoth statue is behind the sunflowers!

Speaking of major Northeast storm, based on the NAM run that's about to finish I imagine your CT and MA news are going to go ape****.

You'll know in < 1 hour whether that's just the NAM being ridiculous as per usual or if CT really is going to get buried.
Personally, I cant imagine that map is legit, but the undeniable northern bump is good for the Poconos, NYC, and all of NJ.

Former West Virginia resident here. WV defies any arbitrary geographical broad stroke.
Seceded from Virginia in order to stay a part of the Union during the war that has given us the North/South dichotomy of the last 150+ years. That makes them Northern.
People constantly want to lump them in with the "mid Atlantic" states although they are landlocked and have no Atlantic coastline.
Hard to call them eastern when the word west is right in their name.
Appalachia? Well, we got them thar mountains up here too. Even in New Jersey and Connecticut!
Thank you for letting me contribute to the general confusion and frustration in this very important thread.

I agree with this distinction. I guess the increase in snowfall is all relative. You see the same relative increase moving inland in New England.

My former company was involved with surveying all of the remaining Mason-Dixon Markers. Most of them still exist. Pretty cool.

Oh come on. Who doesn't want to drive eight hours to West "By God" Virginia for some powder and see these people?

i went to snowshoe once (i went to college in dc). it was a beautiful drive in the daylight coming in. it was a terrifying drive in the darkness heading out, getting lost, almost running out of gas, and having to stop and ask for directions. deliverance style shit.

Rule #1 Don't take anything I say seriously
Rule #2 Southerners can't drive when it snows
Rule #3 There is no rule #3
Rule #4 Yoga pants MUST have a weight limit
Rule #5 When I'm bored, I send a text to a random # saying, "I hid the body... now what?"
Rule #6 Life is short, smile while you still have teeth
Rule #7 If I could turn sarcasm and snark into a paying job I could be employed for infinity
