Vermont climate

Vermont has four distinct seasons, with spring being the shortest and winter the longest. Spring lasts about a weekend and is very muddy. Summer can be quite humid and buggy, but hikers and bikers abound and the scenery is breathtaking. Autumn presents one of the most spectacular foliage shows in the country. The winter is long and usually has three months of snow.The daily average temperature in winter is around minus 6 degrees (Celsius). It’s not unusual for a cold snap to settle in for a week or so with temperatures in the single digits during the day, and colder at night. A few days in summer can reach 30 with nights in the mid-teens.

Getting around Vermont

If you are staying in one of the larger towns, walking is a great way to get around, see the sights, and visit the shops and galleries. Renting a car is the best bet for getting around the state. The roads tend to be in good condition, and snow removal in the winter is better than most places. Traffic tends to be light, but does get congested during rush hour in the larger towns and cities.

North-south travel is straightforward. But driving across the state — over the mountains and through gaps — requires a good map. You can still find dirt roads that go on forever, with charming towns along the way.

Pay heed to “moose crossing” signs. Collisions between moose and cars are becoming more and more common. Moose eyes do not reflect in a car’s headlights, which makes moose very difficult to see at night, and they can cause considerable damage to a car.

Bus service is available between the larger towns and cities. If you prefer to fly, the Burlington International Airport is the largest in the state, and the Rutland State Airport also provides commercial flights
