This past summer was very cloudy and wet. They are not always like that but are certainly not hot.
Winters are usually long and Vermont is pretty gray for a lot of the year.
We have had a couple of nights when it was below zero. Sept and Oct are cool to cold. You can usually count on snow from December through April, I have even seen snow on the ground in May here, but not always. In summary, our summers are short and can be cloudy but are usually warm and sunny, this past one was not good.
