I can get that, one would just have to plan for it and take care of your 
environment, like making sure that everything is plowed, sanded, or 
salted, which the town and state do on the roads and sidewalks. When you 
do have snow on a regular basis, folks know how to deal with it. We are 
already resolving these issues for ourselves on our private roads and 
driveways. One does have to be be careful about walking around, but that 
would be true wherever you lived when you got older-my Mother, who lived 
in FL, fell and broke her hip a couple of times within her apartment, so 
it can happen anywhere.

there are lots of folks that are older living in VT very happily.

I should also mention that we didn't get snow last winter until the end 
of January, when it also got cold. It was in the 70's when we had our 
property tour and meeting on Jan. 2. Who said there is no such thing as 
global warming!<grin>
