As someone raised in the south, I picked a heck of a year to move up to Massachusetts, didn't I?

What do you all do to avoid going stir-crazy when the snow leaves you stuck inside the house for days?

Fight over parking spaces. It's Boston's favorite winter pastime.

Just go around removing space-savers, then let Boston tear itself apart.

Never having lived in the snow, this concept was new to me. It lead me to this terrible article[1] which says the same thing in each of it's four paragraphs(!), but linked to this article[2] which has a better description of the cultural phenomenon, including some light flamewarring in the comments...

Go snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. Seriously. It's the best way to adapt. One afternoon of cross-country skiing and you'll be all set; it won't even feel cold outside after that.

Eh it's not so bad. Learn to dress warm and embrace the snow. Snowboarding's one of my biggest hobbies now and I look forward to big snowstorms.
