On Boston Winters

Via fellow-former-Cantabridgian-turned-DCer Matthew Yglesias, we have this take on winters in my former home of Boston:

I don't know if any of you have ever had the pleasure of experiencing a Boston winter, but if not let me awaken your senses. It's basically an 8 month-long night of sitting in your bathtub tearlessly crying while listening to Townes Van Zandt/Joy Division mashups, half-heartedly trying to cut your wrists with the Lady Bic of some jawn you were hot for that you just found out gave brain to Mr. Len in the bathroom during some poetry slam in Central Square. No. It's really like that. For everyone. 8 months.

All true. You know, when you get to the peak of Boston winters, it's not that bad. When winter is in full swing, around January or February, you start thinking, "blizzards are awesome! I love how everything is all white! It's great walking through the middle of the street when the entire city is completely shut down!" Then by around March you start looking forward to spring. But it doesn't come. And it doesn't come. And it's late April and it's still cold and you haven't seen much of the sun. And you start wondering whether it is worthwhile to keep going until May. Then May arrives and it's still cold and overcast.
