I don't know how we are stacking up against that. But my worry is that states who's entire economies depend on winter and fall tourism are getting slammed. I mean, there was no foliage season this year due to rain (for four weeks). And while Oregon and Washington have other industries to fuel the economy, tourism is number 1 for VT, NH and ME. And by all reports, they are hurting.
Also, I was skiing on Washington in October, it's just strange that there was better coverage then than in the beginning in Feb. I mean, what a freaking tease.
I'm pretty sure dairy farming is #1 in Vermont. And they could give a rat's ass about skiing.
True, farming is huge (number 1 in the state). But I don't think you can completely discount the effect of tourism on the region's economy. Vermont especially has done a lot of work to attract visitors (I mean, they do have the best rest areas in the country, complete with local woodworkers wares, free Green Mountain Coffee, and buildings that make out of staters feel ashamed).
But I would also say that Vermont is more dependent on tourism than Oregon or Washington, and I'm pretty sure they do give arats ass about it.
This is from wikipedia:
Tourism is the state's largest industry. In the winter world famous ski resorts like Stowe, Killington, Stratton Jay and Okemo draw skiers from around the globe, although their largest markets are Boston, Montreal and the New York metropolitan area. In the summer resort towns like Stowe, Manchester and Woodstock draw visitors looking for a mountain vacation. Resorts, hotels, restaurants, shops and attractions employ many people year-round.
Sure, agreed. A town like Manchester pretty much totally depends on the Lexus aliens from the south and east.
I just meant the Dairy farmers themselves could be giving the rat's ass. They're just liking the warm temps. Imagine dealing with 100 cows at 20 below.
That's the best way I've heard it described in years. Hats off to you sir!Quote:
