I know that can happen most anywhere, but which of the northerly options would be most appropriate for a place where the occasional snowstorm makes it genuinely life-threathening to be out in the woods?

Pretty much any of the suggestions--Appalachians, Pacific Northwest, Maine--will give you that option. The first two are mountain regions, with multiple micro-climates possible; the latter has ocean-effect snowstorms (basically, tropical storms where the rain freezes). Particularly in the West, one could round a mountain in winter and go from fairly safe territory to high avalanche risk in hours--minutes on snowmobiles.
