Today with the maximum temperature of 28 degrees & minimum of 9, you can understand what I am talking about. Ohh, I am talking in Fahrenheit & not Celsius, so it is -2 max & -13 min. And with the wind & chill factor, it actually feels 10-15 degrees worse. I am not sure why in US it's called Fahrenheits. Like why is it Miles & not Kilometers, Gallons & not Litres, Pounds & not Kilograms... just WHY??? US likes to be different, or something like that. Well, I am getting used to both now, so it's not bad. But either it's 32 degree Fahrenheit or 0 degree Celsius, both are freezing. And so are the Boston winters. And n top of that it rains & snows too. Roads are getting bad, you can't walk easily with snow & ice & water all around; gotta be very careful. And the freezing wind makes any open part of body just dead numb. Like hands when they come out of pocket/gloves, or poor face which is always exposed. An 85+ degrees on AC is also not helping the cold room. I guess snow & snowfall are only so beautiful in Indian movie songs when the poor actress is running around in a sari or skirt with the guy draped in jackets or coats. They are singing, dancing & enjoying it and so do we. But not in real here, you just want to get hell out of it, or get it over with. Sunnier days are even worse, it looks from inside home that it would be sunny & warm or atleast less cold. But the moment you step out not well prepared, it's damn freezing. I have been fooled so many times by sunny outlook. Boston winters are really bad & COLD!!
