A new version of the same old question

What am I going to miss, when (if) I move to Portland from Boston? Bonus points for not saying anything about cold or snow or sports since I hate those things.

ah, and thinking about sunrise and sunset reminds me that the first few years I lived here, the association of ocean & east was strong enough in my brain to frequently screw up my efforts to refer to directions. I knew which way to point towards the Pacific ocean, but I kept calling the opposite direction "west".
