Yes, that's true, Janszoon, but when I lived in Boston it was nothing like the bone-chilling 30 below zero degrees F weather of my home state.
I can't decide if AwwSugar's coat is one of those "I'm wearing a cool coat" coats for 15 degree temperatures I recall from East Coast winters...or is it one of those "This is serious-business-I-am-covering-every-inch-of-my-body-to-prevent-frost-bite-and-death" coats I wear out here in the MidWest, where the wind sweeps across the plains with nothing to stop it but one leaning scarecrow, some old rusted trucks, and a few trees not yet toppled to create more cornfields or room for wealthy people's houses up in the last remaining forested areas. --Veg

Well, interestingly enough since you mentioned these two cities specifically, I grew up in Boston and lived in Chicago for five years and I have to say I found the winters roughly the same. Maybe it's different in Iowa.

Interesting! I think you are right that Chicago is quite a bit warmer than Iowa...probably due to the Great Lakes and the fact that Chicago is a big city with the warmth from all those buildings and people and cars, etc. Maybe if I had lived outside Boston in some tiny town the temperatures would have been similar to what I experience here.

I live in New York. Haha. I bought the coat for fall. It's really thin. Not a winter coat at all. I don't know what kind of accent I have, though. The end. [= --AwwSugar |
