I was born in Boston and grew up in Cambridge. I was about 5 when the Blizzard of '78 hit. I have two outstanding memories from that:
A) I remember my uncles opening the window of our second floor apartment and finding snow for as far as the eyes could see and the hand could touch.
B) Walking to my aunt's house much later after the Blizzard when you could finally move. The snow piles were not only at least 3 ft over my head as a child but well over my mother's head (She was the height I am now-5'3", so we are talking about at least 8ft.) It all looked like that maze scene in the original version of "The Shining."

I was not born here, but I love it so far. Minus the windy, bitter cold. In fact, I was born in Florida, and lived in a tropical climate for 28 years, and moved to Massachusetts recently.....we've never been in temperatures less than 50F degrees.....HELP!

I was born in Beverly, lived the first eight years of my life in Lexington, and then "went west," meaning moving to central MA, to be specific the tiny town of New Braintree. That's still my official home base, although I'm currently at college in (gasp) New York. But for the week of Thanksgiving I'll be NaBloPoMoing from home, so I'm hoping that lets me slip in under the radar of this group! :)
