New England Weather
Just as New England is famous for its four distinct seasons, it is known for quickly changing weather as well. The famous author Mark Twain (aka Samuel Clemens) noted: “Yes, one of the brightest gems in the New England weather is the dazzling uncertainty of it. There is only one thing certain about it, you are certain there is going to be plenty of weather.”
