After being dumped with more than two-feet of snow, the local Boston golf courses have been under the weather, leaving the Harvard team with only the indoor golf cages to practice in.

The gallow-like wooden steps that protect winter visitors to Widener library from ice-under-toe will soon be removed, and landscapers will begin working round the clock to re-carpet the Yard with emerald sod. Californians will cease complaining about the "brutal" Boston climate. But a plurality of us probably won't notice the seasons changing unless...
