Default Safest Places in the US?

I'd suggest Argyle, NY. It's absolutely MILES from anywhere important
and is a dry town, besides.

Of course, there's lots of cold weather and there are major snowstorms
in the winter.


Snow storms aren't a major problem. Living in an area where snow is a fact of life in
the winter, you get used to it and learn to deal with. I have to admit that I do find
it entertaining when I hear about "snow storms" in the southern US where roads are icy
and treacherous after a snow fall that would be considered to be insignificant here.
Every city and town has a stockpile of salt and sand to spread on the roads and a
fleet of plow trucks. Snow is one of the few natural disasters that most of us here
look forward to and enjoy.
