What April feels like
Patriots' Day gives Boston a holiday nobody else gets — the Marathon, a morning Sox game, and a whole city standing along Beacon Street. The weather that day is famously uncooperative; runners have baked and frozen within the same decade.
Expect about 7 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
