For interested folks, it has been well below normal temps here in New England for weeks. Tomorrow, 4/15, a winter Nor' Easter is expected to blow in, and continue through Monday. This Monday is known as Patriot's Day, and is also the day of the Boston Marathon.

Mostly rain is expected in the Boston area, with freezing rain and snow expected north of the city. There is "the possiblilty of signifcant snow in the Hopkinton area", where the race begins.

Veteran New Englanders simply shrug at this and say, "Yeah? Well that's the way it is around here in April and May". Tourists are shocked. They always expect the "springtime in New England" bit.

Global waming is certainly a polarizing topic, isn't it?
