Boston is great, season wise.

AVERAGE TEMPS

January-28.6

February-30.3

March-38.6

April-48.1

May-58.2

June-67.7

July-73.5

August-71.9

September-64.8

October-54.8

November-45.3

December-33.6

And trust me..Its actually warmer in the summer cuz of global warming!

Your kids will LOVE the snow! Just remember to dress them warmly. Massachusetts is beautiful in the fall, remember to take your kids apple picking! Spring is beautiful as well. Maybe you could start a garden? And summers are great. If you live in a hot place, summers aren't celebrated but in Boston they are!



A great place to live is Belmont because it is a 15 minute commute to Boston, it is small, it is safe, and it has an AMAZING school system, one of the best in the country.

Yes, there are 4 REAL seasons. But as Kris notes white Christmases are not common (because the ocean is not yet cold enough to sustain snow from storms, most of which have eastery winds). But just 30 miles or so west and north of Boston - where the super fall foliage is and the Currier and Ives' New England begins, the chances are double or triple.

We have 4 distinct seasons.



Spring: short, warm, but usually pretty wet



Summer: long, hot, and humid



Fall: usually pretty dry, and it starts to get cold in october



Winter: always wicked cold, but snow varies from a ton one year to not much the next



Remember its New England so it can be 30 one day, 75 the next, and then get a foot of snow the day after that.

the seasons in Boston and all of the northeastern part of the u.s.: winter, spring, summer and fall. Winter is winter in Boston; you will get the cold and the snow. Spring is spring. Summer have humidity and fall the leaves change colors.

You'll get all of that. Winters are colder and summers are warm. Average high in Jan will be 36o with a low of about 22o. average high in July is 82o with a low of 65o.

Boston is the greatest city going. The people are friendly and there is beauty all around you. A little pricey but where is not pricey these days??

good luck

Well you're in luck. Boston is known for its fall foliage. Many people go to the 52nd floor of the Prudential building to check out the pretty colors. Winters are also your typical New England winters, snowy and cold. Spring is usually moderate temperatures and summer is hot. Don't really know what you're looking for in your kids' lives though, so can't answer that.

I lived in Florida for 3 years, so I know what you mean. I've spent the other 30 years of my life in southern New England (grew up in Connecticut, now I live in Massachusetts) so I can assure you we have 4 seasons here! I should warn you, though, be careful what you wish for! You say you want to see "a little snow" ... Boston typically gets about 40 inches total during the winter (not all at once, and it usually melts between snow storms), and shoveling can be a pain. Personally, I don't complain (much :-) because I love it here, and snow is part of living here.



Also, you should know that in Boston only about one out of every 5 Christmases are "white". January and February are usually much snowier than December. I've seen it snow as early as October and as late as May, too (usually it's just November through March).



Northern New England (Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire) has a 5th season - mud season! That's when the snow melts and turns the ground to mud - a pain if you have to drive along dirt roads (Vermont has a lot of dirt roads, not sure about the other states).
