Now I understand.
I used to think it was a little strange that no matter how long one lives in New England, one will always be regarded as an outsider by virtue of having failed to be born here.
After today, though, I think I understand.
Unless you’ve been born and raised here, you’ll have to hunt for something warm enough to wear on those special, sudden 59 degree July days when it pours cold rain. If you have, you’ll never have put away your “winter” clothes. You know better.
It’s impossible to fight common sense like that unless you’ve been specially trained.
Hey, us central coasters would fit right in! (we had a high of 57 on Wed.)
Posted by Ith on 07/08 at 10:32 PMIt’s been my experience that if you’re in on place for ten years you’re grandfathered in. This is what happened with me and Oklahoma. I had experienced just about all that Mother Nature can throw at me by that point and are no longer surprised by any weather condition. Of course, I lived through the May 3 tornados there.
