[quote=Anonymous]My DD, born and raised in DC, has really loved Chicago and hasn't been a shut-in over the winter months. Choosing a dorm right next to the recreational gym (and experiencing a relatively mild winter last year) may have helped prevent hibernation. But she also did a crazy early morning outdoors thing in February, so she clearly wasn't in cold-avoidance mode. FWIW, I made sure she had excellent coats and boots (bought cheaply online after Xmas of Sr year). In some places (like Chicago) windproof matters as much as warm. And water resistance can be a big plus. A good thermos (i.e. one that really does keep drinks hot for 18 hours) and an assortment of provisions for making warm beverages (chai packets, hot chocolate flakes, spice packets for mulled cider, milk steamer) also contribute to her enjoyment of cold winter days/nights.
