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.  |
