    I went to high school just across from Montauk in a small Connecticut town by Long Island Sound. While there are many things I remember about New England, probably the most visceral image is the cold sky on a snowy morning, gray like a cadaver, empty yet somehow claustrophobic.

    I don't know what it is, but a New England winter day sticks with you, no matter how many years you've been away. It's like a memory in that way.
