				WAHHHH, WAHHHH I hate Winter Sniffle
			 
			 
			
		
		
		About the constant stream of whining and bitching about the awful snow and how you are going to move South etc,, Enough. Let me tell you from someone who lived in Tampa Florida (1 Year) and Dallas Texas( 5 years) . 
 New England has the rest of the country beat hands down. So you don't ski and you don't snow mobile and you got the take the broken down T and pot holes and other crybaby crap. So we got to put up with 8-10 dead zone weeks of no real sports and we cant go outside because the f-ing snow has buried our house. SUCK IT UP. WE GOT IT ALL HERE.  
 
The Cape 
 Newport 
 Boston 
 The Super Bowl Champion Patriots  
 The Red Sox( not counting last years disaster) 
 Fall 
 Spring (when it doesn't rain every dam weekend) 
 Huge oak trees 
 Pine Trees 
 Deep green rich grass 
 Bruins 
 A million places to ski 
 Lakes and mountains and forests  
 Vermont and New Hampshire 
 Maine I guess 
 We don't live in Connecticut 
 Excellent colleges 
 Real lobsters and seafood from the ocean instead of some pig waste feeder pond. 
 Smart people 
 Democrats 
 Ted Williams  
 Tom Brady  
Bill Belichick 
 Quonset Airshow 
 Tradition  
 Bunker Hill  
 Paul Revere 
 Southie 
 St Patrick's Day Parades 
 Irish people 
 Jewish people 
 Chinatown 
 The North End  
 The Hill 
 Wimpy Skippys 
 Beaches everywhere 
 Clam chowder made with milk 
 Brown Eggs  
 Catholics 
 
When I lived in Dallas, the Dallas Morning News tried to come up with a list of 10 fun things to do in the city. The could only come up with 6.  
 One of which is going to Depository where that asshat shot JFK. What a blast huh. I went once people where sobbing and it was like your best friends funeral. That left 5 fun things 2 were in Fort Worth the next city over and 1 was repeated. Cowboys games and SMU Games. 
 
 In Southeastern Mass we have an embarrassment of Riches. So Karma sucks and we have to take our shot for 10 weeks. I say screw it, bury me in snow so high I need a snorkel to go outside. Karma gives and takes away but mostly gives. So when you drag your whinny ass out of bed tomorrow and look out the window don't say goddam snow. Nope Say I love New England thank God I live here. 22 Days to Spring! so die winter die!!.

		I agree though Duke we got it good here I always say the exact same thing! As much as winter sucks I like it because I am full bore all season long and the rest that winter affords me is not a bad thing! It gives us a break, time to recharge and refocus and it makes us appreciate those beautiful Spring, Summer and Fall days even more!

		there is an upside to winter 
clean fresh air 
zero BUGS    
no ticks to burrow into your flesh you and or pets 
no friggan mosquito's with ten different diseases on board 
all the weeds are dead giving you a chance to re-dig  
soil watered to perfection for spring lettuce

 Nice!
 
I agree with Duke.  As much as winter bums me out, I don't think I could live down South again.  Mainly because you have to deal with Southerners....

		 I complain but that is part of living here. I will be more appreciative when spring gets here. You also left out the winningest Boston sports hero of all time. Mr Bill Russell

		you don't hear me bitching about the winter....I've lived in South Carolina, California and Illinois, each has there good points and bad points. 
You couldn't pay me enough to put up with a southern summer....hot, humid BS.
 
New England has so mush and its so close by.....I'll take it any day.
 
like Eben said winter only gets you down if you let it.....its all about the attitude

		I LOVE the SNOW and the colder weather.  :-)   Hate heat & humidity! 
You think snow is bad?!  Wait until this snow starts to melt and start FLOODING - that is gonna stink big time.
