Looks so pleasant. I could look it up, but what's your take on snowfall in that area? I'm assuming Ithaca doesn't get anywhere near the snowfall that places like Buffalo do (due to lake effect).

I believe the official weather station for Ithaca is up near the airport (hilly area above the city). The average annual snowfall is over five feet. Usually the valley area where downtown is located gets less than the hills. But there's still a lot of snow.

There's a lot of snow but it's too far south for the Lake Ontario snowbelt. Still, it's cold and snowy. Winters are no joke.
I will say that summers are almost perfect, with low-ish humidity and high 70's/low 80's. The dense forests and high elevation help too.
The only really bad things about Ithaca are rough winters, kinda isolated (no freeways and not near anything but forests, lakes and vineyards) and it's pretty small. But culturally and socially it's almost like a mini-NYC or mini-Boston in the wilderness.
