It is snowing here in Boston

[WilliamPitt]

Baseball season is over, the election is passed, the leaves are off the trees, and it is snowing here in the fading light.

I love this time of year. I'm a freak, I know, but this is why I live here. This is the test. From now until April, I get to earn the right to enjoy warm weather, green grass and blooming trees.

1. HI WIll!

I have missed seeing you around here. I hope you have recovered and are feeling well. Enjoy the snow. Somehow your way with words makes even winter seem better.

[Worst Username Ever]

2. Does that mean it is headed towards the midwest or away from us....

[candy]

10. It's headed away from you.

Cold from the west,moisture from the south,meeting in New England.

[WilliamPitt]

24. New England is the place where weather goes to die

The jet stream goes right over Boston Harbor. If we've got it, it means it was somewhere west of us a few days ago. So, no, this one isn't headed your way.

[DrZeeLit]

45. And then it swooshes up here to Vermont, where....

...the "Eye in the Sky Guys" (our trusty weathermen) get to wax poetic over every nuance of the storm or weather pattern.

I love those guys. But, I admit... weather does MATTER here in the East. When I lived in CA, who cared?

Here, the weather is KING! Our weather guys are celebs!

So, I brace for the snow!

I LOVE the first snow.

[sniffa]

38. Get used to it

Only 4 months more of it to go. :)

[Dogmudgeon]

4. Basstids!

I love the snow. I love Summer, too, but I love the snow.

In Philly, we get cold rain -- like we're getting today. It is one ugly-ass day. Recently, Philly has turned into a two-season town: Drought and Flood.

I bet you get to see aurorae up there, too.

Pissed off again at Queen Meteora

5. Deprived of snow in Dallas

We finally had a decent snowfall on Valentine's Day this year after a long snow-free cycle. All we ever got was ice - some of it really dangerous ice.

6. Never thought I'd miss snow

It's 85 here in Florida. I'd give anything for a flake and a hill.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

20. Same here. I miss the snow and the cold.

I grew up in Maine, but I'm living in Florida right now. It seems weird to have not seen any snow for almost three years. I can't wait to move back to that part of the country.

This is the time of year when the native Floridians start wearing their sweatshirts, even though the temperature is still in the 80's during the day (the summer is typically 90F+). It's kind of silly. They seem to be incredibly sensitive to very small temperature changes.

[graywarrior]

31. I feel like I'm lost in a vacuum. I need a blizzard.

[candy]

7. Yes it is and the local weathermen are in their usual frenzy----

we will get about 2-3 inches and they will act as if it is snowing in Key West.
God,what morons.

[ogradda]

8. i don't think you're a freak

i'm the same way i just love the snow. you're lucky you get it where you live. i wish i did we rarely have snow.

[matcom]

9. FREAK!!

62 more days until MEXICO BABY!!

[madinmaryland]

14. #^%&*$&$%&*

:mad:

[DS1]

15. I've already instructed the town of *******D

to bulldoze all the snow to your backyard when you're gone :hi:

[matcom]

16. can't i get my FUCKING leaves up first?

x(

[DS1]

29. All *ahem* 8 of them?

:7

getting close, man

[matcom]

30. yeah, 8 FEET of them

and i'm talking deep x(

[madinmaryland]

11. It's an ugly-ass rain here in Maryland

I'm freezing my ass off. They haven't figured out how to turn the heat on in our office.

[Zuni]

33. I was just out in it. Cold wet and windy

[PretzelWarrior]

12. Dude, I miss snow. I'm in Oregon

we finally got a good snow last year..but its not usual in my part of Oregon around portland. If it's cold enough to snow here...it's too clear. If it's cloudy enough to snow..its too warm.

We have to have perfect confluence of weather events to bring snow.

But I sure do love it when the air gets crisp and the flurries fly.

Incidentally, one of my best autumn experiences was going to NYC for thanksgiving and Macys parade RIGHT AFTER 9/11.

Flying right after 9/11 was quite an adrenaline rush.

[johnnie]

13. My favorite time of the year too

Until the snow really hits though. I like stepping outside at night at this time of the year and smelling the fireplace's exhaust.

[redqueen]

17. Awwwwww

I want snow.

*pout*

[Phillycat]

18. Waving from Philadelphia.

My feeling about Philadelphia is that you have to sort of be a badass to make it through the winters here. Of course, we've got nothing on you up in Boston...and probably Maine DUers are going to come on this thread and laugh at you...

[Zuni]

32. Hey, I think Maryland winters are bad

I am still below the Mason Dixon

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Now...let's get back to FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Best time of the year for Lambeau Field! :hi:


It's my least favorite time of the year. Too cold, too icy...no fun, and I'm a born and bred Wisconsin girl.

[democracy eh]

21. yep, that snow is on its way to Nova Scotia tommorrow

no longer in denial, winter is here

[BigMcLargehuge]

22. snowing here in Derry, NH too

Alas the winter is upon us, an I welcome it. it's my favorite season.

[underpants]

23. Snow?......in Boston?

Raining here. Horrible miserable disgusting day.

[Cadence]

26. Red Sox soooo rock

I'm in Colorado (it's trying to start snowing here too) and I'm a Red Sox fan....I think that win and the way it was won helped cushion the blow for me from the election. But now that the election is over I'm starting to think.. you know all of my favorite friends have been from Boston but for some reason they move here and never stay long. Maybe I should think about moving. Or at least making a trip next summer to see at least one game from Fenway. That would be awesome.

[Midlodemocrat]

27. And it was raining hard in 'Frisco.

[VelmaD]

28. You're a freak, but not because you love cold weather.

Speaking as someone who has only really seen snow a handful of times in her life, I miss it. The thing I hate about Texas in November is the weather can't make up it's damn mind. Get cold already. :)

[Canadian_moderate]

34. Here in Toronto - no snow yet this season

and quite a few trees still have leaves on them.

It's getting pretty cold at night and I've just purchased some snowtires for my new Mazda6.

[n2mark]

35. Snow

Miss the snow... grew up in northern Michigan and now live in Phoenix. A few years ago in December when talking to my sister in Maryland I looked out my kitchen window --- OMG, it was snowing! I was so excited that I opened my door and stood outside while talking to me sister. That was such a beautiful day. We do receive a few snow showers occassionally, doesn't last long though. It is only a few hours drive up to Flagstaff where we can enjoy the snow at Snowbowl. We also have another skiing area called Sunrise.

There was another ski area in southern Az called Mt. Lemon but they have been hit by the summer fires... not sure if that area is available anymore

[SOteric]

36. And here in Seattle....it just rocks.

:7 If you like a mild autumn chill, a riot of coloured leaves and a plum-tinted smokey haze.

[DemExpat]

43. This sounds a little like The Hague.....just add lots of wind....

:D

I love autumn - my favorite season.

37. hear, hear!

I moved out of L.A. after 15 years because I missed Boston weather. You can take the New Englander out of NE, but you can never take NE out of the New Englander!

[trof]

39. Message from daughter in Melrose:

Jack (2 1/2) saw it snowing and was SO excited.
We bundled up and went outside.
"I don't like it. Wanna go in."
Jack may be a southerner at heart.
;-)

[City of Mills]

40. Snow goodness

We're supposed to get 3-5 inches here in the Merrimack Valley, I hope this isn't a sign of things to come - seems like the past couple of years, the snow hits on the weekend. What's up with that? I work at a college, so when school's cancelled, I get the day off too!

[Zech Marquis]

41. snow already in Boston?

I'm not too surprised, it's been raining here in Virginia all day long. But that's pretty much the only mnor issue I've had--it's vacation time for me :bounce:

[WarNoMore]

42. Just rain on the cape.

I lived for many years in n central mass, I really miss the snow. Have a feeling this year will bring us more snow than usual.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

44. It's too early for snow!

x(

It was 70 degrees last Sunday! :wtf:

I just got home and it SUCKS out. Cold, raw, and icy snow-a combo of snow and sleet.

[SarahB]

46. I'm sick of it.

I need to be on an island somewhere warm. :scared:
