Vermont
In comparison with most states, Vermont is small. Still, Vermont is the second largest state in New England after Maine. The Green Mountain State is bordered by Canada, New York, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. The Connecticut River forms the eastern boundary, while the western boundary runs down the middle of Lake Champlain for more than half of its length. Vermont has four distinct seasons with daytime temperatures averaging in the mid-70s during the summer months and in the low 20's during winter. Annual rainfall is approximately 36 inches: of that precipitation, an average of 100 inches to more than 250 inches of snow falls during the winter, depending on elevation.
