Reply to comment by DirtyBirdNJ in Timelapse of the NYC skyline on a snowy winter morning from MSU by jamditis

When did you move to Vermont, and why? Also how do you like it?

My wife and I spent a lot of time in the winter coming up here on vacations, my job was suddenly ending and I was really burned on the commute in/out of NYC the last few years I was there.

It's great if you can find work. We stressed about never owning property in NJ and we have a nice little slice of nature not too far from Burlington and really close to a few legendary ski destinations. Lake Champlain is pretty incredible, I got into ice fishing and there's nothing like it where I grew up in NJ. Here's a video I just finished if your curious about the fishing

I really like the no billboards thing. Stowe and Toyota tried to pull some shit and the town shut them down. Stowe is one of the fanciest places in all of VT, shows how little tolerance VT has for that stuff.

I think the population density is more humane than NJ or NYC. It's not a solution to all life's problems but if you can make a life here it's been worth it so far. We'll see how I feel about the cold in 10 years

Thank you for taking the time to answer! I really appreciate your response. Vermont, as you've described it, sounds nice, and that was a very enjoyable video.
