(NECN: Alysha Palumbo, Boston) - As bitterly cold temperatures returned to New England Thursday, residents already sick of the long, snowy, cold winter said they felt betrayed by Mother Nature.

“I’m sick of wearing these clothes,” Eteline yelled. “You can’t even swim! All you can do is ice skate, ice skate, ice skate! it’s boring!”
But not everyone is bored with skating – Jenna Musto of Roslindale said she was psyched to be able to hit the Frog Pond for what might be her last time this season.
“I kind of wish winter was just a little longer, just to have more fun, but who knows, I like doing sports in the summer as well,” said Musto.
