I had this long post about VTs government being stupid, lack of planning, how NC did plan for a MAJOR storm, and about Helicopters and how much stuff they can haul - but poop on it, y'all want to defend Ben and Jerry, feel free.

Vermont is and has been a PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. paradise for a while. I grew up in RI and lived in NH for a bit. VT has about 10 native Vermonters and a load of transplants from other places who went there to live in communes and talk to cows.

The state govenment dropped the ball on this storm. They were unprepared. The weather forecasts were out there at least a day before.

The principle of 6Ps applies.
