Things that sound romantic, but aren't
Nor'easters: a quaint idea, until one comes every week for the entire winter. Why not drop the regional hokey-ness and call it what it is--nonstop blizzards?

Nobody from the Northeast ever thought they were anything other than miserable.
I like blizzards. And I've lived/shoveled through my fair share, so I'm just weird. Ignore me.
Withywindle: Perhaps you mean "the Nor'east"?
Arethusa: They're fine in isolation. I think this January has reached the limit of the tolerable, however. The cleared sidewalk paths are surrounded on both sides by 4-ft walls of snow. Any more would probably cause them to collapse back onto the sidewalks.
Sure, but if the snow banks get any higher, you can pretend you're a spy escaping from an enemy camp. A plus, imo.
A plan that would be more appealing if I had waterproof boots.
what about your rain boots? i've been wearing the ones you sent me for the snowstorm that dc just got...they're warm and waterproof!
But are they warm when the outside temperature is 17 degrees?
Re escapes: Chicken Run II: Escape from the Harvard Coop.
MSI: When I've needed waterproof boots, LL Bean has always come through for me. (But order a size up, otherwise they can hurt when worn with boot socks.)
