Also, they didn't name us "New" England for nuthin'.

The only difference is that Old England is noticeably warmer.

Rhode Island is about the same. Once you get north/west of I-495 though, you're in the hands of Aput. I mean, how else can Worcester, 30mi from Providence, get devastating ice storms that knock out power for weeks, while down here within the safe boundaries of the Sovereign Principality of Kaousuu, we'll get a dusting and a tree limb will fall. And then we'll tell the weatherman that they're lying...and go buy milk and bread anyway.

True. Boston largely gets spared the worst of everything because of the heat trap/coastal city/fairly efficient snow removal combination. Once you get into the 'burbs it starts to get worse.

I do always find the mad scramble to get non-perishables funny.

ours are basically a category 1 hurricane that dumps 3 to 6 feet of snow (depending on time of year) and can, in mid-winter, come with windchills of 20 to 50 degrees below zero.

Fuuuuuuck.

G7P,
Never seen colder than -30

I just buy chips, salsa, and some sort of hard liquor.

Making it a party. I approve and will follow your example

Also, the winter is when I love being a pedestrian the most. Not because I actually LIKE walking on ice and in snowstorms, mind you, but if it's really bad out, I can get home in just about the same time I usually do when it will take cars HOURS because of traffic.

That's what just happened in Newfoundland when Igor hit as a "tiny" Cat 1.

I love the pavement a few meters left of them cracking into the drink and they're just filming away. 

Actual quote from cbc:
"due to numerous road washouts and downed powerlines the town has declared a state of emergency and advises residents to stay off the roads unless it's an emergency."

My dad has to wait til the biggest craters in the trans canada highway are fixed before he can pick mom up from the city.  A bunch of sewage systems are useless, communities are still cut off from power crews, some bridges are toast, etc.  But other than that, everyone I know there is ok.

Ain't that a fact! Ours can often be hit and run, yours just move in.
