This past April 1st, it snowed over 6 inches here in Boston. It was a cruel April Fools’ joke, but not as cruel as April 1, 1997 when a blizzard dumped more than 21 inches of snow here. It was my first winter back in the Northeast after living in the desert (Tempe, AZ) for more than 5 years. Up until that day, it had been a relatively mild and snowless winter, which is why when I woke up that morning and saw my car buried beneath a mountain of snow, I had no idea how I would get it out.
