We are going to be retiring to Vermont in 2 years (hopefully!) I can't wait to get to where winter is actually a thing! Thank you for this video!

It takes great courage to screen a drive in Vermont in the winter, rather than in the fall, but for those of us who have lived there, this is a mesmerizing journey. Thank you for this!

Thank you so much. I traveled these roads for most of my life. I've been gone for 15 years now and it felt like I was home again.

It's beautiful. But I've never understood, why on earth don't you bury your power lines? Do it once, and you'll never have to worry about them ever again.

The main reason why is the overwhelmingly high cost of installing underground power lines. Estimates place the cost of undergrounding power lines at roughly $750 per foot, compared with $70 per foot to install power lines on poles. Economics 101. PS. Take a Chill Pill. You're too high strung, no pun intended.

@@ChatGPT1111 If you just bury them when you're putting in the road, it's not that much more work. Then, you never have to worry about it ever again. Or, you can try to save a little money at the outset, and keep constantly repairing them, over and over again, costing more in the long run. Yeah, that sounds smart.😏

@@mtntime1 Except government road and commercial utility electrical projects are not planned and funded at the same time. Here in Florida, commercial builders of comparatively high density subdivisions use underground utilities as an asthetic selling point and have since the 1970's. My last 6 homes were in such communities. Vermont is far more rural with far less financial resources to coordinate and fund such projects. Vermont, as we have seen in the past two years is prone to flooding, which is an absolute nightmare for underground utilities.

It rains and snows a good amount, over the years less and snow and more rain though. It’s sad, but true. Northern Vermont gets more snow though in the mountains, especially. It’s not Colorado with a ton of blue skies all the time, the dreariness adds to the ambiance though .
