Anyone that laments the loss of New England winter's didn't live through never ending snow from October to April. A snowblower then was an expensive luxury and the worst part was all passenger vehicles were rear wheel drive. Even with studded snow tires or chains driving sucked. A normal twenty minute commute turned into an hour long white knuckled drive. Yeah, it's nice to wake up to a winter wonderland now and then but also nice that it's gone the next day.
