Plus Rt.100 intersects I-89 and it’s midway between Burlington and Montpelier. That’s why they call it the Crossroads of VT. It’s also why property is ridiculously expensive.
Growing up, we had 2 donkeys that protected our flock of sheep. Besides braying loudly and warning us, they would drop kick anything that tried to get in the pasture.
I just drove through your neighborhood on my way to a periodontist appointment and there was snow blurring the mountains down towards Sugarbush and Camel’s Hump.
I haven’t seen it but I think the “hit piece” narrative came from Tiger’s reps. I read a review that said it’s good but different from the Jordan one. Of course it would be without Tiger’s input.
He wouldn’t be making enough to afford half that house working for the Coos County sheriff. There is the federal prison in Berlin though. Corrections is a different world than police work though.
Still lightly snowing on and off. Enough to make I-89 a little slick. I was on my way back from W. Lebanon and had a car spin out in front of me between exits 5 and 6. The guy did a good job keeping it between the guardrails without hitting anything. I bet he wanted to change his pants afterward, I almost had to. Luckily we were both going only 55 or so and I was keeping some distance between us.
Back then though people were riding around farm fields on Jags and Citations or Sno Jets like my wife and her brothers, when snow was low. Times have changed.
To add a little anecdotalness to you step gradient theory, my house is at 1250ft. It is not uncommon for the battleground to be in my vicinity, down the hill more rain, up the hill more snow and mixing back and forth here at my house.
