I think people figured it out, but I’d inadvertently transposed the Fahrenheit figures in my earlier post. These figures should be accurate:
Average January Low
Middletown: -7°C (19°F)
Middlebury: -13°C (9°F)

Middlebury is the better choice if you’re interested in environmental studies, languages, and study abroad.
