<p>so weather.com is predicting about 40-55F over CPW. Although I'm from Texas, I definitely like the weather a little cold (and rainy) because I enjoy protecting myself from the elements. It sounds strange, but it's fun to combat nature. or maybe I just like to wear water proof jackets.</p>
<p>anways, are there any stores near MIT that ya'll recommend to buy cold weather gear? or is it easier to just order stuff online?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>ummm ive only been to MIT once.. but i recommend the Coop. Yes the clothes are pricey (45-60$ for a hooded sweatshirt) but a hoodie from there will supply your cold gear and get you into the MIT spirit. And MIT gave us a 10% off coupon. :D</p>
<p>Do you know if it will be sunny/rainy/cloudy/snowing? I've been scouting weather pages but they don't go that far into the week yet.</p>
<p>Most years, Boston weather miraculously gets really nice for CPW -- people say that it's because of the weather machine that MIT keeps tucked away for special occasions. :)</p>
<p>Panasonic, do you mean real cold weather gear? Like ski jackets? Or do you mean spring weather wear?</p>
<p>like ski jackets! do you think they would be on sale this time of the year? I'm assuming 40-55F is not that cold in Boston terms</p>
<p>Haha, okay. I was a little worried.</p>
<p>Ski jackets are probably on sale -- I know there were some huge sales up in Maine when I went skiing last weekend.</p>
<p>There's an [url=<a href="http://www.rei.com%5DREI%5B/url">http://www.rei.com]REI[/url</a>] up in Harvard Square, and an [url=<a href="http://www.ems.com%5DEMS%5B/url">http://www.ems.com]EMS[/url</a>] next to the Fenway stop on the Green D line, as well as another near the Prudential Center shopping mall.</p>
<p>niceeee. thanks, I'll be sure to check those stores out! (after the Coop, of course :] )</p>
<p>didya see that snow today? ;D</p>
<p>Maybe the '11's will get lucky and we'll have snow on CPW :D!</p>
<p>Pyrocide: here's what I've been looking at - <a href="http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/vacationplanner/monthly/USMA0066?from=tenDay_topnav_vacation%5B/url%5D">http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/vacationplanner/monthly/USMA0066?from=tenDay_topnav_vacation</a></p>
<p>looks like they're predicting rain at the moment. maybe that'll give me a chance to whip out my gore-tex :]</p>
<p>lol...i just looked up boston weather and it said 35 F. Yea so if anyone see a geeky asian kid in like 3 layers of clothes thats me.</p>
<p>Seriously though, i come from texas so basically anything under 65 degrees is cold.</p>
<p>sbc1234, which part of tx are you from? I'm in Dallas</p>
<p>panasonic: i'm from houston...</p>
<p>just wait, just wait I say. The weather machine is ridiculous....</p>
<p>Someone better get busy with that weather thing!</p>
<p>WORKING ON IT</p>
<p>:o.</p>
<p>Looks like the ol' weather machine is off to a slow start. Though the forecast for the next two days is encouraging :D</p>
<p>I just got this e-mail...</p>
