VT and upstate NY have been devastated.  worst storm in 83 years for VT.
the worst storm EVER for Ulster County NY.  and many other places im sure.
New Jersey, New Hampshire and others im sure make the list too.

VT is the crown jewel of the northeast, largely because of the northcoutry natives and the love they have for their home State. i am proud to consider VT one of my "second home states," and perhaps it is my favorite of them all.  VT will rebuild and recover, and it will be better than before. their efforts will serve as a model for the other states.  rough days ahead, better days to follow. best wishes to all
