I lived in DC for years and now live in Burlington. Everything in Burlington is easier from day to day living, traffic, crowds, pace of life, etc. But it is expensive as salaries are lower here and cost of living is high. There is less to do and BTV is a small airport so it’s hard to easily get away. Then there are the winters. It’s not just the cold it’s the dark and the gray. Even when the sun is up it’s often over cast. If you want a slower pace and can handle grim weather it’s a nice place to live. Just stock up on vitamin D.

If you like outdoor activities in the winter, you will be fine. Skiing, hiking, and the like. Just get good outdoor gear and bundle up! Agree with the vitamin D comment and a happy lamp. It’s a good excuse to get cozy, read in front of the fire, and make delicious food.
