<p>How bad is the weather really at Cornell?</p>

<p>I've lived in Boston my whole life. Is it significantly colder and more snowy in Ithaca than in New England?</p>

2

<p>Coming from Boston to Ithaca shouldn't be much of a change. I'm in North Jersey and the time I spent in Ithaca wasn't bad at all by my standards.</p>

3

<p>I went to cornell and I 'm in Boston now. I have found that the winters here in Boston are way worse than the ones in Cornell. Maybe its just because its been really bad here the past couple of years.</p>

4

<p>The short answer is no...</p>

5

<p>Put it this way. Ithaca gets lake-effect snow, and Boston gets Nor'easters.</p>

6

<p>how many months of snow does Cornell get? How many months of proper summer?</p>

7

<p>people always say that Cornell gets soooo cold. well, its colder in Vermont/Maine (20s) region and gets even colder (-10s to 10s) in the Midwest.</p>

8

<p>Cornells just like dirty weather, like slush and rain and stuff like that--pure snow is awesome--u can play... SNOW FOOTBALL in it</p>

<p>Live in Buffalo,NY (Snow Captial of the World)for a year before going to Itacha, you'll be fine for your four years. Compared to Buffalo everywhere else is cake.</p>

<p>the midwest is warm today! but it's true that it does get really really cold- i'm excited to move to somewhere with better weather.</p>

11

<p>It wasn't much different from my home in Jersey. Definitely not as bad as people claim.</p>

12

14

<p>Mmm... lake-effect snow... a word that us Midwesterners know well... Hopefully some of the gorges will stop alot of the snow, lol...</p>

15

17

<p>Haha, snow football? How do you play that? Do you make the football out of snow?</p>

18
