No offense was taken. But misinformation should be corrected. Tit for tat - not.

Sorry to add a few more lines of correction, but Northfield MN and Middlebury VT have almost identical historical temperatures throughout the year. The main difference is actually a significant amount more snow in Vermont. Middletown CT is definitely a balmier alternative, if still not exactly balmy.

By the way, I’ve lived over the years in the Northeast, Midwest, South and Southwest. The largest chunk of those years has been in the Northeast (disdain-free). 100+ miles is almost always a very, very long distance here, especially fighting nonstop construction and truck traffic on I-95. NY and Boston are great towns, but these are not reasons Wes students choose to go to school in Middletown (Wes provides a lot of other great reasons). Minneapolis-St. Paul are about 40 miles out of Carleton mostly along a highway with a 65 MPH speed limit (where cars actually travel 65 MPH). The metro area has over 3 million people. If asked, I’m pretty sure those 3 million would consider it a “legit city.”
