<p>whats the dorm temperatures like?
whats the outside temperatures like? does it snow?
(right now im inside my dorm, freezing to death)</p>
<p>Very little snow.
Fairly cozy on campus dorms.</p>
<p>It was freezing last year. I recommend a good winter coat and boots and a scarf and gloves if you walk a lot. It snowed a tiny bit. And it sucked to walk in it.</p>
<p>Uh I cant remember how it was in the dorms but I am pretty sure it won’t be freezing if it’s cold outside.</p>
<p>If you see a kid walking around campus in short sleeves and shorts in January, that’s my son, lol! He is SO happy to be going to school in Texas! He’s used to running long distances (10 miles, for example) in 10-degree temps. We see -18 F or so on our thermometer every winter in Maine.</p>
<p>thanks for the replies :)</p>
<p>@mainelonghorn: haha that’ll be noticeable :]</p>
<p>We get cold weather from the north in December through February and spend a lot of time in the lower 50’s and 40’s, then warm air will blow up from Mexico and we’ll hit 70, then cold air will move down and the temps will plummet again. Cold usually beats warm, so those spells in the high 60’s and 70’s don’t last as long as the ones in the 40’s. Sometimes the cold moves in hard (for Austin) and temperatures get into the 30’s, and less often the high 20’s. We don’t often get below freezing – maybe a few days each winter – and only get any accumulation of snow every few years. If we get ice the city throws sand all over the place, then the ice melts by noon the next day and there’s sand on the roads for weeks.</p>
<p>I moved away from Austin because I couldn’t take the hot summers, but I do miss the winters! We’ll have weeks up here where it doesn’t get above 20 all day.</p>
<p>Gotta love southern winters. I remember my first winter in Texas after moving from Chicago. Boy was that a pleasant change…</p>
