Master Adamantius, you're lucky to be near the coast.  You have that
Gulf Stream thing working in your favor.  My in-laws who are two hours
northwest of you start getting snow around Thanksgiving and don't see
ground again until April.  We were married on the western edge of the
Adirondacks, and it snowed six inches five days before our (outdoor)
wedding in early October.  Fortunately, it melted and turned into balmy,
70 degree weather just in time...  Hey!  I was prepared!  I had silk
long-johns to wear under my wedding gown!  Thank goodness for REI  :)
