Everyone says they miss snow until it actually happens in Boston.

In this episode we break down why Massachusetts is objectively terrible at snow removal, how half an inch turns the city into a crisis zone, and why New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont quietly run laps around us every winter. We talk space savers, snow emergencies, parking chaos, contractors who vanish mid storm, and the fantasy version of snow people pretend they love.

If you want snow, drive north. If you want beaches, universities, and heart transplants, welcome to Massachusetts.

Topics include:

• Why Boston panics at the first flake

• The unhinged history of space savers

• Snow removal scams and disappearing contractors

• Why other New England states figured this out years ago
