Reply to Cheap place to stay in St. Johnsbury by fergal-dude
I'm guessing the Comfort Inn is the expensive hotel-this is the only place I would recommend...have stayed there many times. The Fairbanks Motor Inn is being used to house the homeless.
If you are not tied to St. J, try the Danville Inn in Danville.

Reply to What’s going on with the Winooski schools? Looked at a house there and saw they all had 1/10 ratings and below 20% proficiency rates with terrible graduation rates? by vermont4runner
There is nothing wrong with Winooski schools. Look at the demographics. It's the most diverse town in the State has a high number of ESL students. The "best" schools are typically the wealthiest and whitest.

Reply to Questions about snow removal by 7billionpeepsalready
Greetings from VT. I love Tucson...spent a week there last April and had a blast. It depends on how much moisture is in the snow. Light, fluffy snow is no problem, but when the snow is heavier (i.e. wetter), it's a good idea to get the snow off the roof. Especially if you live in an old house. Our building stock here is OLD.

You should check out Hard'Ack in St. Albans if it's open to kill an hour or 2. Teeny little rope tow area, but oh so much fun.

Its not the type vehicle, it's the tires. You want snow tires, not all seasons.

Bristol, Lincoln, Ripton. Very artsy, filled with artists. Brandon has a strong artist community as well.

Reply to Hinesburg by Dellinger503
You must go Yates Orchard in Monkton (has a Hinesburg address) for apples, cider, creemees, etc. Make sure to get a dreemee (fresh, hot cider donut with creemee on top - get maple or apple cider flavor).

If you're in the Champlain Valley Burlington and south there may be some good color around. It's definitely too late for the mountains.
