True story. When I entered the Navy, I was sent to Bethesda from MA for a month to cover for someone who had emergency surgery. There I met a psychologist who was also there temporarily from San Jose on his way to NAS Brunswick ME. Since I was headed to NAS Moffett Field near San Jose, we exchanged information about what the areas were like.
Around Christmas, we got a card from them detailing their excitement with the white Christmas. Around Easter, we got a note asking "When does the snow go away?" Didn't have the heart to tell them it would be a while longer.
