A New England Winter February 26, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : Depression , trackbackWhen one thinks of New England Winters, the thoughts of snow, ski lodges, and bundles by the fire should appear. However, these are all NORTHERN New England. I live in the Boston Metro area which is often called Southern New England. We have been having snow warnings since Thursday. Yet today, the snow is falling and we are expecting a measly 1-2 inches.
I miss my Buffalo winters. We had SNOW there, people. Real, honest to G-d SNOW. With real snow squalls and we learned how to drive in the stuff. A forecast of 6 inches was considered nothing.
And now I am in the panic central for snow. I swear the populace of Massachusetts hasn’t learned how to drive, not to mention how to drive in snow.
So, today is it a fresh coat of snow. But nothing like Buffalo. Strange how the smallest things can make you sad.

Like you, I grew up in snow country and now live somewhere where a 2 inch fall sends everyone into a tizzy!! Today was what I’d call the perfect winter day. Weather hovering in the low 30s, a nice light snow falling. I picked my son up at school and we decide it’s the perfect day for the outdoor rink. We come home, get our skating stuff and head off to the neighbourhood outdoor rink - which according to the sign on the fence is “closed due to inclement weather”… are they out of their minds???lol Don’t you need a little cold and snow for an outdoor rink…what do they expect???lol Thankfully, we drove another 10 minutes away and that outdoor rink was ready to go. Hope you enjoy the little bit of snow you do have!
