[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a warm state, and honestly my winters in MA and RI didn't feel much worse than winters here in DC. I don't think there's a huge difference in terms of darkness hours. We've had bigger/more snow here in DC in the last 10 years than I did in (southern) New England the 10 years before that. So basically, if your kid is ok with winter here, I think she'll be okay with winter there. You pack warm clothes, you deal, and generally you go home for like a month over winter break anyway. Now, NORTHERN New England, or the upper Midwest, is a different story. My friends at Carleton and Colby had to adjust to life on what felt like a different planet. I will never forget visiting my Colby friend in Feb., and asking when the snow on the ground had fallen (like, how long ago was the storm?) She looked at me blankly and said: November. [/quote]
