Fun Facts About the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

 


Massachusetts official nickname is The Bay State. Other nicknames include The Baked Bean State, Codfish State, Pilgrim State, or The Spirit of America as seen on the Massachusetts license plate. Just, please, don't call us Massholes.

  1. I've been called that a few times; not for quite a few years though. It is really what people who only wish they could be from Mass. say-smile. How cold are you this AM? I se it says -9, which is about what we are now but with the windchill it says we feel like -32. That's even too cold for me. Stay warm. hugs-Erika

    1. The last reading I had from the weather station at 6:15 am was -13 with a feels like -22. After that, I think it got too cold for the weather station as it's not reporting outside temps or wind speed. Yup, too cold. I'm glad the kitties don't need to go outside for a walk or business. Take care of your puppers and stay warm

  3. We're the Volunteer State, and I don't know of other nicknames -though I could suggest a few given our prominence in news and commentary lately :(

    I've seen reports of New England cold lately that bring to mind epic climate change disaster films! Brrr!!!

    1. Yeah, thanks for the movies suggestion. As I said, I'll save watching that over the Summer

  4. We're (Kansas) both the Wheat State and the Sunflower State. You are the "my bottom is freezing about now" state, at least for the weekend!
