PBS Ran Coverage Of Projected Climate Havens, Including N. Vermont. Then 2023 Happened . . .
About a year ago, PBS had a program examining the most likely “Havens” from climate change in the US. They settled on Northern Vermont.
Turns out, not so much. This summer’s vicious pounding storms left a trail of destruction in that area, and actually showed how vulnerable Vermont’s communities, like Montpelier, hugging a river valley among the mountains, are extremely vulnerable to extreme rain events.
Seems like someone might have been able to envision this, given the trends of climate-driven precipitation.

Future events from a climate science expert. He said that their research generally shows that the wet places will be wetter and the dry places will be drier.
So that includes close to rivers/creeks/wetlands and seaside. So far, it has been an accurate measurement. It's certainly more comprehensive.
