As an expat Swede, I was disappointed with last years' snowfall. I had high hopes for cross country skiing, but that didn't work well at all. This winter was better, but still pretty weak. Maybe I should move to New Hampshire... ;-)
If you're in Boston, Maine is pretty close. If you want a good winter hike, the top of the Appalachian Trail is Mt Katahdin, about 100 miles north of Bangor ME.
