Twain did say: "There is a sumptuous variety about the New England weather that compels the stranger's admiration — and regret. The weather is always doing something there...In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours. ...
Yes, one of the brightest gems in the New England weather is the dazzling uncertainty of it." (Speech at the dinner of New England Society in New York City, December 22, 1876).

Henry David Thoreau
