<p>niiiiiiiice ; )</p>
<p>ktoto: that's hilarious, i would support you all the way lmao wa wa wee wa! high-five!!! lol</p>
<p>im sorry but i have to give my advice in this subject im a rising soph and from MD it gets at least about 25 degrees here and Ithaca was a change for me. It's the same amount of snow('cept in Ithaca it snows from Dec-April) but temp. get down to 1 below. U don't kno cold till ur in Ithaca 'cause u will always be outside walking to classes, meals, libraries, dorms, parties, etc. That's esp. why it seems a lot colder up there. When ur at home u drive or are inside when it is cold or raining, in Ithaca u have no choice but to be outside.</p>
<p>In terms of clothes, for girls i can give advice 'cause im a girl. U can still be warm and styling at the same time. I don't really like Northface b/c it's overpriced, but they do have nice hefty fitted jackets for girls. I myself have a mid-thigh length Baby-Phat jacket. That's another thing long puffy jackets are really good for the winters there. Have two types of gloves, knitted and the hefty snowboarding kind, I found mine(amd they were pink and matched my jacket:) ) at Wal-Mart for $3. Don't get those flimsy mittens from Old Navy, AE, or Aero they will not keep u warm. REMEMBER GIRLS BEING PRACTICAL ALWAYS GOES BEFORE BEING FASHIONABLE. </p>
<p>Wear long johns(long underwear) they really make a difference. Get a good hat. Keeps u from getting a cold and u do not want to get sick at Cornell, the teachers do not care and will go on without u. </p>
<p>Tennis shoes(or sneakers, whatever u call them) will not help in the snowy months. I don't know what everyone is talking about but that 46,000 we each pay to go there is not spent on shoveling the sidewalks in time. U will fall and slip and bust ur behind if u wear tennis shoes so get some good boots, Timberlands and affordable and last a long time.(Google it if u don;t kno what they are the toolbar is in either the upper right or left hand corner of ur screen) Along with Tims or any other hiking/work/construction/heavy-duty boots have some snow boots that will reach at least to ur calves because the snow will get high and u will have to walk in it.</p>
<p>Girls, don't u can look cute in some Uggs and still be dry and warm it's not gonna happen. I've seen many a girls complain about how their Uggs got soggy and messed up b/c of the snow. Uggs are for warmer states like CA not Ithaca, NY. </p>
<p>layer up inside ur jacket with tank tops, T-shirls and long sleeves. or u u can settle with sweats. And for those weekend nights when u have to party(srry 'rents but ur kids will party just trust in them) have a pair of cute, furry, boots to put on over ur jeans</p>
<p>And for all u Calis, Southerners, and international ppl if u can't find what u need where u are Ithaca stores always have what u need in stock there is a Wal-Mart and Target near and accessible by bus. And liek someone before said u won't need to buy most of this stuff until around Nov and Dec or even over winter break</p>
<p>That's all i can think of now. If u have any questions feel free to private message me im an OL leader im supposed to help :)</p>
<p>P.S. Srry for the numerous typos</p>
<p>people really wear boots like what ktoto posted??
sorry, i'm from california...</p>
<p>I will be wearing similar to these on campus, at least. When I used to live in the north, those were the most common type of shoes people wore during the winter. They are waterproof, have a LONG lifespan, easy to clean, very warm, and not slippery at all. What more do you want out of shoes? These kind of shoes are the best ..... in my opinion. So yeah, I already have a pair in my closet.</p>
