New York is finally snow free!! I had about 1-2 feet of snow outisde for about 2 months until it was sunny a few days and a bit warm. Also, it rained more and now the snow is gone! Hooray!! Now I just hope that it doesn't snow anymore. Most snow I've ever had in a winter here.

When you say New York you should mention it's your New York. This is my New York:

@Alohaex- Just wait for winter to visit a state with snow. It's best to get used to it in small amounts if it's new to you. Btw, if it's yellow don't eat it.
We had a couple of good snowstorms, but nothing stayed for more than a few days.
Tenser, you'll probably hate me but I just opened my windows yesterday for the first time all winter.
Vancouver has snowdrops, crocuses, and daffodils popping up already - it seems spring is already here.
1. Optifine - allows you to tweak display settings and certain game elements giving excellent game performance even on 32 - bit systems. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/...and-much-more/ 2.Custom NPC's mod - create your own NPC characters in Minecraft.
Fully customizable, meaning you decide everything: type, size, skins {compatible with most skins made for 'Human Male', like Steve, so you can use skins people upload to PMC and other sites}, assign jobs, factions, etc, etc.
All this and it adds numerous items such as weapons, armor, food, quest items, and more. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/...-npcs-splanmp/ 3.MACE city generator mod - a standalone program which generates worlds with cities. {NOT just random like it says, they're fully customizable with dozens of city options - why do they say random when itisn't?}.
There are 3 basic themes {desert, medieval, and Novv - sort of medieval with lots of detail} and you can insert 1 - 100 cities of your choosing into generated worlds.
Name the world or leave MACE to give it a random name, insert a world seed, tweak the options to make them contain only what you want them to, then create a profile so you can duplicate your favorite cities again later! http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/...ies-generator/ 4. Tale of Kingdoms mod - I consider this to be part mod, part city generator; the mod inserts a medieval style building {into either a new world or an existing save file}called the Guild.
The Guild is the starting point of the RPG aspect of the mod.
NPC's in the Guild inform you that you are the King who must complete certain tasks in order to gain the trust of your people.
Once you gain their trust {by gaining enough in - mod 'EXP', basically} you can then choose the site of your Kingdom, which you provide the raw materials to build.
There are 3 tiers to the Kingdom, expandable as soon as materials become available.
IN CONCLUSION:
These mods used together hold HUGE potential both on or offline and the best part is that you can do what I did:
Use MACE to create a world with a city {or cities}, then install the TOK mod, play to gain the Kingdom, and then uninstall TOK and use the Custom NPC's mod to make your own characters, storyline, whatever!
And in case you were wondering it is possible to have both mods running at the same time, but your custom characters better be tough enough to stand up to the TOK hostile mobs!
My issue is that I live in a valley between two major mountain ranges which is just east of the largest lake system in the world. We get this interesting meteorological phenomenon called "Lake Effect Snow" in spades. There are areas closer towards Buffalo/Rodchester that get 15 - 20 feet annually.

@DB: I just looked up Boston's average yearly snowfall. At a measly 42" you've got no room calling anyone a lightweight.
So what I hear you guys saying is that your winters can be almost as bad as Canadian winters, eh?
You still haven't experienced it fully until you've wintered in a place like Winnipeg {nickname Winter Pig} or my beloved Northern Alberta, where the wind howls at -40 C.
One morning it was -60 C with the windchill, and I turned to my boss and said:
'Do we REALLY have to go to work today?'
@DB: It has nothing to do with "being able to take it." Don't imply that I'm some sort of snow pansy just because I'm tired of Winter and ready for Spring.
@JG: While it certainly gets colder in Winnipeg, we average twice the yearly snowfall. 110cm a year (roughly 36" w/out calculating) is paltry. We average about the same as Montreal does for snowfall which is around 226cm. Near Rodchester they get around 450cm of snowfall a year. Canadia's more cold than snow for the most part.

Oh lighten up sally I was only busting your chops. The snow must be getting to you.
