Ditto here. Fortunately the nights cool off quickly, so I haven't had the heat or the air on for the past two months. The problem here is the wind. We have 23 knot sustained winds again today, with gusts to 35. Dust everywhere (and I mean everywhere)... No fedora today!skwerl-hat said:

Today in Boston we saw a nasty mix of snow, sleet, hail and rain. I think that the rate of depression in New England might end up on the rise. It's so hard to keep a smile on my face when spring seems to be so far from reach. Usually this time of year we get rain, but the average temperature is 58 degrees farenhite (sorry I'm a terrible speller) This time of year we start to get a bit happier, the weather starts to warm, flowers start to bloom, the leaves on the trees return. So, even on the rainy days I'm happy because I know that the warm months are on their way. More people will be out and about, the overall mood of the city changes, no more snow plows and piles of snow on the sidewalk that make walking anywhere or taking public transportation miserable. But, it seems that every year the spring comes a bit later. It's always short in New England, but I have a feeling we won't be having one at all this year). What little spring we seem to have begins between the middle to the end of May and if we do have one at all it lasts through June. June's a tough call. Some years we have lovely temps in the mid 70's during the day, but no humidity. It can be most delightful. Other years we have gone straight from those blustery Nor' Easters right into hot and humid summers. Although last year we did have some incredibly hot and humid days, they were fewer than past summers. So depending on the year, summer can start anywhere from the second week of June to the first week of July. When I was a kid things started to cool down after the first week of September. We did have those few rare days that it reached the mid 70's, but not too often. Now we have 70's well into October, September has many days in the 80's. So, fall seems to start at the end of October/beginning of November, and it lasts through January. We have had a few January's in a row when the temps have been in the 60's. It wouldn't be odd to have a blizzard in New England at the end of April, for technically the end of April would still be winter. It does kind of mess up the Christmas season. I mean, it'd be kind of strange to have Christmas in the fall and Halloween in the summer. But, Thanksgiving, which is the ideal fall holiday could be what we use to mark the arrival of fall. We are all spending so much time talking about how the seasons aren't actually what they used to be, so why not change that? I think this would make things a lot less confusing, and might actually make people a bit happier

It doesn't look like I will get to enjoy any "Chamber of Commerce" weather while in town for the Marathon.....in fact the race officials sent out an email the other day WARNING all the runners of the impending weather situation.

Kimberly said:Bingo Daisy!!! I have lost complete faith in the weather men after their last predictions. They have been incorrect approx 85% of the time this year it seems.
I am so sick of this weather though. I feel like hibernating which I have done all winter. I am sick of feeling cooped up and want to start wearing cotton and linen instead of wool.
So they did! I found this interesting article on that: Ford Model-T with snowmobile attachment.Nick D said:
