I have to say, people in VT seem to embrace it.

The average Vermonter does not want a **** ton of snow. Relatively few Vermonters ski or snowboard, and most that dont are sick of the snow in a typical year after a while. The average person bitched about snow when I lived up in Vermont just as much as the average person when I lived in NYC, or the average person here in New Jersey. You're probably encountering the people in the resort towns you frequent, who are likely skiers/boarders, and/or who's livelihood is dependent on snowfall. But the average local from Fletcher or Hardwick generally isn't getting amped-up and jazzed for the 15" storm on March 20th. This is what makes us "special", we cant get enough snow. At 30" (officially) yesterday, I was sad when the snow stopped falling at 11pm last night. :( Come back friend!
