My ex moved from Arkansas to PA, they had a huge brick house with custom tile work etc. They were able to sell that and get a POS McMansion that started falling apart after a year of ownership (1" settlement cracks)
They move to Tennessee and were able to buy a huge house again.

To be honest, we don't get as much snow here as they used to 25 to 30 years ago. The jet stream brings down more Artic air mass, but most of the precipitation drawn up from the gulf pushes east of where I'm located (the Omaha metro area). Central and Eastern Iowa, Wisconsin, and Northern Illinois got a lot more snow and rain this past year than we did.
I think at one point, we might have had 6 inches at once and that was our "big" storm of this past winter.
As for mountains being nearby, there are none in the "backyard" so to speak, but I do live in the Loess Hills (Google it) and there are still some pretty fun slopes to ski and tube down.
Totally. It's all about the three truisms of real estate: location, location, location.
