Boston weather

Sue says it to me all the time. She was born here. What's my excuse? She says this every time I say how much I hate the weather around here. Weather-wise Boston sucks, especially the winters. They're long, going well into May. And a day like today, when it's just cold and rainy, is doubly miserable because everything is just plain ugly. Cold and dreary and flat and colorless. Any snow that's left or ice is just nasty because there's something about it that let it stick around this long. It's like ice and snow from some deep, dank, lifeless hole in the earth.
