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.

Speak for yourself. I grew up in Montana and snow IS a major problem.

When was that? Right at the dawn of the automobile age before they'd
figured out how to plow roads?
