They are here, waiting for half-priced hot dogs at Sullivan’s on Castle Island, standing in lines that snake outside when it’s crowded and in small groups near the condiments when it’s not, on this cold, rainy Sunday morning. They are the opening-weekend faithful, parents with kids grabbing snacks before basketball practice, bleary-eyed partygoers looking to cure a hangover, wistful regulars who remember when.
Opening weekend for the South Boston institution, when the stainless steel grills awake from a months-long hibernation, signals the imminence of spring. But, here’s the funny thing about a February spring in New England — it comes with icky, icy, snowy weather.
