Sarracenia do not need snow to go dormant. Most species are found in southeastern states. I heard that that pitcher plants which produce larger traps in late summer/early fall (S. leucophylla, rubra, alata) do not grow so well in northern states because the season isn't long enough for them to produce the big traps. I know of someone taking the plants indoors to start the season off early. But you can't do this since you want a bog. But maybe you wont have this problem since your plants will be planted in the ground and have more protection from cold.
BTW, I hope you have a reverse osmosis unit. Bogs would take up A LOT more water.
Here is a photo of the United States which shows the areas where Sarracenia and Darlingtonia are found. (red has biggest density, blue has least)
I think S. purpurea ssp purpurea will do well where you are, they need longer dormancy than the rest and are native there.
The only sarracenia available in the plants sale page is S. pupurea. But you can get the upcoming taller growing ones at a discounted price

I know what he said, I was saying that I dont consider 3 inches big!
