What it’s like
The place. Wolcott is a very small Vermont community, with few residents even by the standards of the state's rural towns. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs staying below freezing, and summers are mild and warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a moderate amount over the year, so the seasons follow a familiar northern New England pattern.
Work. Across Lamoille County, incomes are comfortable for the region and unemployment is low, close to where it stood a year ago. Jobs in the county grew a little last year. Wolcott residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by restaurants, hotels and entertainment, professional and business services, and the building trades. Among the largest workplaces across the county are Copley Hospital, Smugglers' Notch Resort and the Lamoille North Modified Union School District. Few people here work from home.
Things to do. Elmore State Park, a protected area, and Lake Elmore, a reservoir, are both a short drive away, which makes them easy choices for a walk or a day by the water. A longer drive brings you to Smugglers' Notch, a ski area, and to Lake Willoughby, a lake that draws visitors in warmer months. Winters here suit anyone who likes to be outdoors in the snow.
