If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you live in New England.

If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don\'t work there, you live in New England.

If you\'ve worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in New England.

If you\'ve had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you live in New England.

You know you\'re a New Englander when: "Vacation" means going anywhere south of New York City for the weekend.

You measure distance in hours instead of miles.

You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.

You have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again.

You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching.

You install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked.

You carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them.

You design your kid\'s Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

The speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you\'re going 80 and everybody is passing you!

Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.

You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.

You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.

You find 10 degrees "a little chilly."

You actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all your New England friends & others

My CT theory has always been:
860=New England, Boston affliation
203=Tri-State area, NYC affliation
Yet all things driving or weather related applied to me, hmmmmm.

^^^ That stopped a couple of years ago but when I was growing up it was the case

^^^  What about vacationing is going north to Vermont before you would ever even think of going south to Florida.

If trees could scream do you think we would be so cavalier to cut them down? Maybe if they screamed all the time for no good reason.

Probably the worst thing about having King Kong run rampant in your town would be the huge, monster genitalia.

I wish I had a kryptonite cross, because then I could keep Dracula and Superman away.    :mario: :luigi: :yoshi:  :toad:

The use of the word "wicked" is strictly a RI thing.

Most new englanders stopped using it when Rad came out :)

I hate the word wicked altogether and think it should be shelved. It may be a Mass thing but RIers definitely use it way way too much. I don\'t go a day at work without hearing at least 10 wickeds, and mind you at 24 I am the youngest employee there by at least 6 years.

Who actually measures distances in mileage? Who cares how many miles it is, its all about how long it takes to get there.
