Lulz, Vermont.

It seems like the middle of nowhere. But very scenic, and there's a city called Brattleboro.

maple syrup fam

easy yes*

*i do not live in or have i ever visited vermont

plus it's probably very pretty and quiet if that's your thing

I just know they're big on dairy products and beer. Ben and Jerry's is from there, iirc. I'm sure they see a ton of snow, too. Sounds a lot like Wisconsin which I have been to.

You're pretty far from any big metro areas but that might be a good thing. I don't even know what the closest one would be. Boston I guess.

Wisconsin is fine as are Minnesota and Illinois and the other "flyover states". Midwest states get a lot of hate on this board.

vermont is a shithole unless you love rural areas and small towns

and snow

Depends where you are in the state.

I lived in Burlington for about 3 years. It's a medium-sized town that's very liberal, lots of college kids during the school year. Really beautiful during the summer and fall with the lake right there. Plenty of outdoor stuff to do (skiing, biking, hiking, water sports, etc...). Most of the rest of the state is farmland and rural outside of Montpelier and Rutland. Those areas are generally conservative outside of some small towns that live off tourists from NY, NJ, and Boston.

The whole state is hot but scenic in the summer, some of the best foliage in the fall, god damn miserable in the winter if you don't LOVE snow, and wet and muddy in the spring. You gotta love the outdoors and not being around a lot of other people.

edit: I do want to add if you're going to be in Rutland, Manchester, Bennington, Brattleboro, or those areas there's a lot of trashy areas. VT was one of the hardest hit places from the opioid epidemic and it's still rampant there.

Absolutely

It's fucking hilarious how anything outside California or New York is somehow irrelevant
