We're used to snow here too. It's pretty rare when they close the schools!

We lived in Boston for a while but when we moved there, I had lived in warm climates for so long I didn't even own a warm coat or any shoes that would pass for cold weather shoes (flip flops don't count!).

We moved there in November so the first thing I bought was down coat and the second thing was a pair of warm boots! I practically lived in that coat! Finally in July, I decided I needed sun and beach, so I took a short vacation back down to St. Augustine where we had moved from...I didn't realize how much I missed the sun! I don't think they get much sun in Boston! Maybe 2 weeks of summer! I hated living there...when we got orders to Fallon, NV, I was elated! A whole state of sand! Yeah!

I know...I am weird, but where there is sand, there is lots of sun!
