Congrats! That's a helluva a career in the civilian sector when you ever leave. Northeastern winters? I wouldn't be packing your swim wear or sunscreen...you won't be needing it.
Thanks,

Winters are shit in Maine. Weather systems usually head through Hampshire and head straight on up to you guys. Expect lots and lots of snow, and negative temperatures regularly. Have fun!
Oh and congrats on the job peon.

I've got you covered bob, considering i'm done deploying as a Marine, ill be your personal gunner
I was minding my own business on warsong, whn Bob The BURRITO decided to take it upon himself to attach his goblin jumpercables to my nutsacks, and jumpstarted me. This was cause for great concern, as I am a zombie, and QUITE flammable. -yogi

Seeing as I never seem to be able to get on the same team as my clannies, it is actually going to be me that is gunning your humvee. With my assault rifle or rocket launcher.

I live in Maine, and like others have said, winters are cold and usually very snowy. I mean sometimes we get many feet of it. Usually if it takes a while to show up, you know it's going to be bad when it finally does. We have all seasons though, which is nice. I like fall and spring. Summer can be hot.
By the way, I don't have the accent.
