A friend of mine sent this to me at work. Now, while I know the temps are colder in New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine... and many other states, I still feel like I get to joke about it as well because MA is so close to their borders (if not touching them!) And, this winter has not been fun --- temperature wise. (It still bewilders me why anyone would consider living north of NH during the winter. What are the Canadians thinking?!!)
Anyway, I thought it was funny and had to post it. I think it's true... except for the last stanza. Fortunately, we've had two hour delays more often than for 50 degrees below! Can I just add that this weekend it hit 45 degrees and I walked to church because it felt like SPRING!!! :)

It definitely is all relative. It is in the 60's today and I'm not leaving the house unless I have to...and not without warm clothes :) I hate when it gets this cold. My heat has been on constantly all day trying to warm us up!
Though I'd really love to see the East Coast sometime, the seasons, etc....I LOVE living in California. And yes, we are spoiled. We turn on the heat when it's 60 degrees. I don't care if I never see snow again...I hate being cold. But it is beautiful...to look at.
Ha Ha Ha...it is SO true. Here in DC, during winter when it was only 45, I would never wear a coat and my co-workers thought I was crazy. I tried to explain to them, that's a WARM day in Boston.
so so funny - yet here I am enjoying a 70-80 degree Southern California Winter instead of a New England one... and yet my roommate from Tonga still feels the need to turn on the heat at night. I die...
