As the snow continues to fall here, I came across an appropriate map. These are the places you’re most or least likely to die of a natural weather event. Heat is the biggest killer; hence, the South is the most dangerous place to live.
The North Country is pretty average, despite our winters. The eastern Adirondacks, right along the more lonesome stretches of the Northway, looks a little hazardous. And then there’s Hamilton County, up there with the desert border regions of the souhtwest and the Rocky Mountains.
So if you’re in Hamilton County right now, be careful.
