6. Anything else you'd care to compare.
Thanks for reading!

I lived in Putney, which is north of Brattleboro, from '94-97. I moved to Highlands (Macon/Jackson Co. line) in 1998 and left that same year. So, I'll need to jog my memory.
1. Humidity was worse in VT, but NC had its moments. I'm more of a cool weather kind of guy, so I am biased.
2. Never noticed many in either locale.
3. WNC is certainly not bad, but I was absolutely in love with SVT and the Tri-State Region (Keene, NH, Greenfield, Ma.). Natural scenery is a close call, but VT wins as far as town scenery. I'd have loved to go to Cullowhee, NC in daytime, because I love college towns, so i can't comment on that. Certainly no Brattleboro, VT, though.
4. WNC is much less of an issue as far as snow. Temp didn't get that low for m either. Certainly not near 0 (Brattleboro got to -15, IIRC, one time).
5. I don't even remember. I like it bleak and cool.
6. Very windy roads in WNC. I don't love that. Asheville drive was a chore. But then, Springfield, Mass drive was a bore.
