[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an alumni of both those institutions (undergrad and grad school), I can say that for most of us, the weather was just . . . the weather.  You put on a jacket and boots and gloves (rarely a hat, because hat hair), and you carried on with life without giving it a second thought. Except for big snows or a couple days here and there where it was unusually cold, it just wasn't something that most of us really thought about or talked about in the context of our daily lives.  None of my school memories involve me suffering because of the weather, except maybe a few nights I ventured out to a frat party without a coat because I didn't want to bother with dealing with it once I got to the party.

So I guess if your kid is super sensitive to weather, it is a consideration but otherwise what is there to say.  Both places are colder and generally get more snow than DC.

I will say I preferred Dartmouth winters.

[b]Who can forget her sharp and misty mornings,
The clanging bells, the crunch of feet on snow,
Her sparkling noons, the crowding into Commons,
The long white afternoons, the twilight glow?
See! By the light of many thousand sunsets,
Dartmouth Undying, like a vision starts.
Dartmouth, the gleaming, dreaming walls of Dartmouth,
Miraculously builded in our hearts.

Beautiful poem! [/quote]
