I was a fellow at Cornell for a year and I learned the meteorological term "polar vortex" when I was there. It snowed from late October into late April. In the early months of the new year, it is bitterly cold. They cancel school because it is too cold. Have fun.

School was canceled maybe once in the 4 years I was there. Never heard of classes behind canceled for cold. What was the temp?

I am referring to local public schools. Multiple days off due to cold weather (minus teens wind chill, for ex.)
