IDK, like some people in the hills are rednecks, but pretty much everyone else is chill. I think it depends how populated the area your looking at is. Y'all should be fine tho, and if you do move here make sure you have good heating and snow tires before you need them.

Here's a budget option: a dual fuel portable Westinghouse model 5300 generator ($650), Reliance indoor transfer switch ($450), electrician to install this panel (~$800 or so), a 100 lb propane bottle or two from Lowes ($200 each). So for around $2,000 you can keep the critical items running like your refrigerator, boiler / furnace, lights and microwave oven and get through several days of an outage without a lot of hardship and without having to manage the shelf life issues associated with a gasoline appliance.

Typically these systems are designed to have one days worth of capacity remaining even after the high level alarm sounds. This is the alarm that warns the homeowner that the pump isn't operating. You could probably flush toilets as you normally do for 2-3 days without a worry during an outage, even longer if you are skipping showers due to a lack of hot water.

What’s the confusion on liberals with guns? You know who was fucking liberal? The founding fathers. We just uphold the traditions of the founders, a constant push for progress, and equality (the founders were a little loose on that one).

Plus we need our guns for when we have our bolshevik revolution and forcibly take all the second and third homes so that our citizens have housing instead of having homeless people freezing while wasted places sitting empty so the rich can visit and look at the funny locals like we are savages seeing civilized people for the first time.

Not sure if they meant the crunchie Vermonters, the racist Vermonters, the crunchie racist Vermonters, the woodchucks, the Phish fans (overlap with the crunchies), the wealthy entitled weekend skiers who come up from CT MA NY to complain that there is no help at the ski lodge
