The thing that bugs me most about New England winters so far (this is my 4th) is how long they last and how short the days are. I don't mind the snow or the cold that much, but getting dark at 4 o'clock is disturbing, and having to wait until May for real spring is a bummer.
Ohio wasn't this bad. Hell, I think Minnesota even has more daylight.
When I lived in Virginia a few years ago, my sister told me she was planning to visit during the kids' school break. "We'll see you in early spring, at the end of April." Honestly, I thought she was kidding. The end of April is LATE spring, right? Nope.
When I was a kid in Texas, we were always annoyed when spring break (which was mid-March) was too cold for us to lay out in the sun and work on our tans. It was usually in the 60's, which is pretty frigid to most Texans.
