I'll admit that the first time I drove in Boston, at some point in high school (I grew up in CT), I was surprised at how aggressively people drove. People in CT always complain about MA drivers. Seven years of living in Boston (between college and post-college) changed that perspective. While MA drivers are aggressive, I've also found them to be, on the whole, very skilled drivers. They're aggressive, but they also won't put you in impossible driving situations, and they do respect the rules of the road.

I do have a specific question though. If the roads freeze over, do you have to put snow tires on your vehicle?

Haha...if you go into some store and ask for a Coke, that's what you're getting...a Coke. That's not such a big change though. As for "bubbler," in my 7 years living in MA I never used the term, so don't worry about it.
I tend to get all-season tires, and those work pretty well, even in deep snow. A lot of it is going to end up depending on what type of vehicle you drive.
