Boston's weather is often much cooler than the other big cities along I-95 in the east know as the megalopolis (Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York) Besides being the fathers north of these cities, the Labrador water currents flow southward from Canada into the Gulf of Maine and can trap much cooler water between Boston and Cape Cod. This makes for cooler summers helps enhance more snow in winter storms. Here is a live camera image of downtown Boston. To see Gillette Stadium in Foxboro where the Patriots play, click here.

Ben Franklin: The founding father and great Renaissance man made his first weather observation in .png)
October of 1743 when preparing to view an eclipse of the moon in Philadelphia. Clouds rolled in and blocked the moon, but he later found out that people in Boston were able to see the same eclipse, and the storm reached hours later. Franklin became intrigued and continued gathering observations and eventually determined the direction of movement for storms. He was the first to observe that storms can move in an opposite direction from the direction of the wind. In other words, although the winds in a nor'easter blow from the northeast, the storm is actually moving from the southwest. In trying to explain how this weather pattern worked, Franklin accurately theorized about the existence of high and low pressure and proposed one of the first correct explanations for storm movement in the northern hemisphere.
