<p>I know, I know, I first need to get in, but in case I do, I was wondering just how much colder is Ithaca than Oregon? A lot of people say the weather at Cornell is bad, but I'm wondering if part of that is because they aren't used to going weeks without seeing the sun like I am here in Oregon. Of course it's colder, but just how much worse is it?</p>
<p>Also, does the campus seem to close down when it's cold or what do people do when it gets bad in the winter?</p>
<p>Upstate New York weather is fairly dismal, but you can trudge through it. Here's a comparison for the month of March of Portland, Oregon (it's the only city in Oregon that I know of, sorry) and Ithaca, NY.</p>
<p>Portland</a>, OR
Ithaca</a>, NY</p>
<p>Actually... now I'm jealous. Portland's weather looks great in comparison.</p>
<p>How about Chicago?</p>
<p>You can find this information on <a href="http://www.weather.com%5B/url%5D">www.weather.com</a>. Type in a city, click on the Month tab, and then compare it to the Ithaca link.</p>
