Vermont experiences a cold humid continental climate with long, snowy winters and short, warm summers. Frost lines of 48-60 inches, heavy design snow loads in the Green Mountain counties, and short daylight hours in winter push almost all exterior work into a May-through-October window, with mud season on dirt roads adding further scheduling friction. For electrical wiring projects specifically, this means timing and material selection are key factors in both cost and quality.
