Before we listen to the opinion of some silly rodent from Pennsylvania, I think we should slip Phil a copy of this photo of a guy skating in shirt sleeves on Boston Common on February 1, 2012!<\/p>\n

There were also other strange phenomena in Boston yesterday. Everyone wanted to be outside to enjoy the weather. We have proof. We walked into Neptune Oyster<\/a> at 12:19 pm and were greeted by one of our favorite Neptune bartenders like this! <\/p>\n

(Needless to say, these seats soon filled in.)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

So Mr Phil, no matter what you say, we're going to enjoy each sunny day until it gets too hot to indulge in long hours outside. And, if it snows some more, we'll hold you personally responsible!<\/p>\n

We told you this was not going to be an easy call for the rodent!<\/p>\n
