Glad to hear Boston grew on you enough to settle here. I've lived suburbs south of Boston my whole life so I don't know anything else.
No offense to anyone from elsewhere but I can't even imagine not having 4 seasons (though I hate snow too and easily do without) or the ability to drive to the mountains and the sea in the same day.
And I guess I have a "wicked" Boston accent because when I travel out of state or country everyone knows where I'm from without me telling them : )
