Montpelier is a little gem of a "city".

As a life-long New Englander (raised in Massachusetts; lived in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Vermont) you would think I must love cold weather, snow and clouds, but the truth is I love hot sunny weather... That said, I still think Montpelier, Vermont is one of the most wonderful towns in which to live, work, create, recreate, meditate, communicate - you get the picture. Being the capitol of Vermont, we are treated (yes, treated!) to an influx of folks from all over the world, which gives us wider horizons than most tiny towns in the US. I work in our historic, vibrant downtown, at a long-running and beloved craft gallery, and there is never a dull moment. If solitude is what you want, however, just walk about 1/2 mile out of town in any direction and you are in a beautiful park, a quiet neighborhood, or on a country road with spectacular views of the mountains beyond. Come visit! Many do, and many are mesmerized by our treasure of a town, and its unique people.
Oh, by the way, we do have hot sunny summers here (most years!), gorgeous falls (perhaps you've heard?) and many adore all our beautiful white ski-worthy snow.
