15 Undeniable Things Every True Vermonter Has Done At Least Once
People are people wherever you go — or so the saying goes. And sure, we may do things in Vermont that people do everywhere, but we also have done things because we’re tough, adventurous and sometimes just plain old busy. So if you’re from Vermont, chances are you’ve….
That first skid across the road will have you at the garage in no time.
It’s easy pickings and we try to keep the doctor away. Besides, the owner would say yes anyway.
Even your boss has done it so don’t be afraid to admit it.
Maybe you’ve trekked out to get the mail or some firewood, but it’s a lengthy process to get socks and winter boots on when you’re only stepping out for a moment.
Sometimes it seems like an eternity to wait for the windshield to defrost, so you boldly look out of the tiny circle and think, "Yup. This is good enough."
It’s freezing cold and you really don’t want to go to the store, so you whip up some pancakes and call it a "country breakfast for dinner."
Sometimes you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do.

And you did.
You missed the pickup date and discarded evergreens stayed where they were until the spring thaw. Why not start a new tradition of the "annual lighting of the Christmas tree" in the form of setting it on fire in your yard the following April?
You knowingly procrastinated because dealing with it in the spring sounded like a much better option.
You didn’t realize that the ticking noise coming from your car in June was the studded tires you forgot to take off.
OK, not everyone has done this, but we’ve wondered about it.
A bad, bad, bad combination!
This could be posted land, closed ski trails, the Notch Road in winter or through a construction detour.
