I personally would rather have the nice white snow of Boston than the rain/sleet/slush that we received in Central NJ. Of course, 80 degrees and sunny beats the snow by quite a margin.
I'm not sure what people have against snow versus a cold rain. I remember once at work it had snowed and the trees and fields were a winter wonderland in the bright sunshine; also the roads were perfectly clear as well. I overheard someone say to his friend as they looked at the snow from the window, "Maybe we'll get some rain and melt all this miserable snow". Maybe it's my Michigan roots versus the mentality of the NY metro area, but I can't imagine trading dreary rain for the beauty of a fresh snowfall. But, I certainly can understand trading palm trees for snow.
