Grand claims have been made of Massachusetts’ capital of Boston throughout its history. They are reflected in several of its nicknames: ‘Cradle of Modern America,’ ‘Hub of the Solar System’ and ‘Athens of America.’ I first visited Boston in 2002 when I was looking to attend Boston University for graduate school. Things didn't work out, but it is a lovely city and I have returned on several occassions since then. |
Weather The best time to visit Boston is late spring/early summer and in the late summer/early fall. The first freezing temperatures typically begin in November and can last until April. January and February are the coldest months (average temperature: 29F). July and August average 72 degrees, but 90+ days are not uncommon. The famous "Northeasters" (coastal storms) can produce rain one out of every three days and snow from December thru March. As a result, there is no rainy or dry season. |
