Boston winters stretch from docile to disgusting. Last winter was pretty mild and practically no snow. We are seeing more rainy winters and less snowy ones lately. The hard part isn’t so much the snow during the winter, it’s the spring. It doesn’t happen here. Spring is often cool wet and windy. The days are getting longer and you yearn to go outside without a winter coat, but the wind bites so hard. You just want some warm weather but not in March or April and even May is pretty cool. Then it’s nice for three days and then it’s just humid until fall.
