Born in March of '93 and can confirm that it was absurdly snowy. State police almost took my mom to the hospital on a snowmobile. Luckily my grandfather was in the local fire department and took one of their big trucks with chains to bring her in.
There's a pic of my mom standing in the window with me as a newborn, and my dad shoveling snow onto a snow bank that was easily 4x the height of my 5yo sister.

Gross lol.
My mom and uncle tell a story about going down to the beach in the summer and not being allowed back until noon for lunch (they grew up in the red rocks/queen city park neighborhood in Burlington). Well one day my uncle decided to go back early...you had to walk past my grandparents bedroom window to get into the house and let's just say he saw and heard something that sent him running back to the beach.

I was a bit younger then - 14 or so. We played guitar hero for hours on end at a friends house, attempted to ride our bikes through the snow to the store to get maple syrup for sugar on snow, realized maple was way more expensive than what we could afford, and then physically couldn't bike back home. I think we got 3 snow days in a row maybe?

This is like pretty much exactly what OP DOESNT need. Random people surmising what may be causing their headaches because they can’t see a doctor soon.

Skids is probably the “lifestyle” brand for people who are trying to fit an aesthetic.
I’m looking at you upper middle class VT soccer moms from November to April.

How can you say it’s low quality?

Johnson woolen mills if you want to look “vermont” while also having an incredibly high quality wool garment.

It’s pushed (otherwise it kinda ruins the point) but it does have a hookup to be pulled for transport

Yup. Kid started daycare 11/1, by 11/7 he had COVID and daycare was shut down. He went back and it's like a symphony of coughs, sneezes, and sniffles when I pick him up.

My wife and I aren’t low income and we didn’t even have our kid until the very tail end of this all, but it still has absolutely wreaked havoc on our lives in ways it never would have pre-pandemic. Just the amount of time we have had to take off of work due to illness, daycare closures, etc is asinine. In the past two months I’ve had to “work from home” (which is a joke when you’re caring for a baby) or straight up not work at least 2.5 weeks. Luckily my job is understanding and I have a lot of CTO, but it’s not even remotely sustainable.
Add onto that the fact that everything is expensive as hell and daycare is literally as much as our mortgage and it’s a wonder any family is holding it together.

You're a fucking idiot. I hope they turn you away.
You might have been a stats major but your understanding of stats is clearly flawed, and your ability to find scientific data is nonexistent.

Or maybe call the actual airbnb? They are literally the only people who can tell you if they are going to turn you away or not.

I’ll bite. Why didn’t you get vaccinated?
Hate to tell you but they probably do seriously want it and the only way around that is to get vaccinated.

Uh didn’t you just answer your own question? If they can ask for it, they can refuse your business based off of it. I think the only thing they can’t refuse your business over is protected status (race, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc)

Back in the day we had to watch the ticker across the bottom of the news channel the morning of in order to know if we had school or not. The 2007 Valentine's storm is the only storm that I remember school being cancelled the night before.
Anyway, I remember there being one morning where I was PISSED that we didn't have a snow day. Definitely seemed worthy of one, but it was maybe 20min before school started and it hadn't been called yet. My friend/neighbor's dad would drive us to school, and as he pulled into my driveway I turned around to look at the TV once more - sure enough our school's name popped up on the screen!
I screamed out to them that school was closed. A few minutes of panic ensued as we decided whether we would immediately begin hanging out/playing in the snow or go back to bed for a bit and meet up later. Of course we got right to it.
