Highgate doesn't get a lot of tourists.

Across from the Weston Playhouse’s new theater/ or their restaurant the Hub

It looks like they shaved their heads for this meeting which uhh

These lumps look better equipped to handle a spontaneous hard boiled egg eating contest than run a town.

In a front wheel drive you’ll want the sandbags in the front passenger seat footwell, and they’re more for emergency traction than for ballast , but otherwise this is good advice.

Best car I ever had for winter was an 80s era Civic with front wheel drive and all seasons. That thing would go anywhere. I lived in a trailer park (not a "manufactured home community," this place was a trailer park) that had a long, steep hill from the main road. Every winter, it would get bad and dozens of people would have to park their 4-wheel-drive trucks at the bottom and trudge up while I'd just power up in my little Civic.

I miss that car. I called it Ralph.

Just don't ask owners about head gaskets.

subie? reliable?

New one in Northfield also. DS Cafe

Rickie's Indian in South Barre is surprisingly good, and it's also in a rather nondescript gas station. Same with Ananda's up the road in the Thomas Greenhouse building (though the rumor is that they're moving into downtown Barre)

Civic will be fine with snow tires, the only time you may have an issue is when some scared idiot decides to creep up a steep hill and kills your momentum or alternatively the idiot in front of you has bald all seasons and can’t make it up the hill so they stop and kill your momentum.

snow tires are always better than AWD

I've had a Civic since 2015, bought used, and it's still going strong. Snow tires are definitely quite helpful. Did it a couple years without snow tires (finances) and was okay, but overall I wouldn't recommend it.

If you’re staying in Burlington for driving mostly you’ll be fine the plows are pretty on top of it. But if you wanna go reliably outside of Burlington some studded snows and some sandbags in your trunk should keep you secure. If you were to get a new car even tho you don’t need one I’d say a Subaru Outback would be a good one used

Civic is perfect as long as the tires are good.

Civic is fine. Just keep in mind VT eats older cars very fast.

I’ve been a Vermonter my whole life and last winter was then first time I bought winters; do what makes you feel comfortable and drive to the conditions and you’ll be fine

Yes I hope so for the storms. Thanks!

Where?!?

As another pointed out: The mine area is a place best left undisturbed.

I'll gladly accept you answer as being the correct one. And yes, a respirator is the proper face-pro

Best dumplings in the universe. I moved out of state recently and still miss going there!

According to their website, they are sold at Burlington mattress on pine street

My old civic with good tires was great in the snow.
