Rainy Vermont Bed and Breakfast Bust — Stormy Weekend, Crackling Fire & Cozy Cabin Rain

Cozy fire and rain ambience — You booked your Bennington Bed and Breakfast just below the towering Battle Monument. You promised your partner it would be perfect. Hit a few trails on Prospect Mountain. Dinner and shopping downtown. Some hip art gallery or bookstore. It'll be a hoot. Then months of plans ruined by a fluke thaw. "It can hit 60 in February?!" "A'yuh happens every year around this time," says the innkeeper dropping a plate of strata before you. "Usually, it's just a day or two; it should be cold and snowy again by Monday. Want some more coffee?""You can go to hell, old man."
