You brace for it, but instead of snow, it rains for 12 hours and then drops to the 20s, encasing the entire city in ice and gutting your hopes for an early spring.
...It's a killer, but Boston beats out warmer parts of the country in other ways. I'd rather be stuck in eternal winter, for example, than to have to stand for a minute in the company of Creationists and people who think the Blue Collar Comedy Tour is funny."
-Joe Keohane, editor of The Weekly Dig. (our alternative weekly paper, from this week's issue)
Can someone out there please refute this? Not because I don't believe it, but because I do. Must I choose between a comfortable social climate and a comfortable weather climate?
