I needed to read that because I want to make sure I’m prepared for the winter and life in general there. Thank you mate!

Have you ever experience a proper winter before? I am not sure what the weather is like where you've lived, but for some the winter can be tough. Normally, it's cold and snowy, but that hasn't been totally true in the past few years.

The shortest day of the year ends at 4:30ish. Normally wintery weather can be expected between November and March. There are freak events, like the once in a lifetime ice storm, or 2021's snow in May with 90 degree weather next week. Springs are nice, falls are nice, summers can get hot, but they might be mild to you!

If you rent, you might get away with not needing to shovel, but you will need to deal with snow and ice existing!

Truthfully, no lol. I’m actually intrigued by how ridiculous it could get especially since life hits a wall down here in Dallas at the sight of a snowflake 😂. I am really looking forward to the seasonality of Massachusetts and the distinct seasons. Like you said, should be okay for the summer! Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it!
