I think that's what's so interesting for me about relocating somewhere with real winter. We've definitely had bad winters but most of that is because we don't have the infrastructure for it. A week or two of cold weather with maybe some snow (or ice, more likely) and everything goes to hell. We may get that two or three times a winter, broken up by boring cold weather or decent days.
I don't even have a proper winter jacket because a hoodie with a long sleeved shirt underneath will work just fine most of the time, even with my distaste for the cold. If it's colder than that, I just don't go out because there's nothing to do anyway. I want to go somewhere that requires the art of layering. I want to go somewhere that doesn't freak out because there is a possibility of snow. I know blizzards and all that can be brutal and I'm not trying to romanticize it but it is part of the appeal. I want that experience, you know?
Vermont looks incredible. I might spend a couple of weeks in New England because it seems difficult to pick one place to go.
Oh, a Hoodie will not cut it in the cold months.
You
think you want the experience, but it can be a bitch and half at some point.
We get all of the worst air from Canada.
Also, just FYI driving North and South in Vermont is much different than driving East and West.
The joke is, "In Vermont, you can't get there from here"
I still love it though. Coming from even Upstate NY you can feel your heart rate drop the moment you cross state line.
