<p>It’s the news reports! I’m in Florida, and when I imagine the news reporting about bad winter weather, images of people trudging through downtown Chicago comes to mind. But when I think of Boston, etc, I think of Fall colors. We all know that it’s not like that all the time in either of those places, but those are images that come to mind.
When the news shows horrible snowy weather=Chicago, horrible thunderstorms and heat=Dallas or Houston, of course, not exclusively, but often enough. </p>
<p>LOL I just turned to my H and asked, if you saw a report on the news about horrible, snowy weather, where do you imagine they’d be reporting from? ans: Chicago. ;-)</p>
<p>Reading about no A/C in some of the dorms would definitely be a concern. You will not convince a Floridian (ok most Floridians) that no A/C is a tolerable thing(even if just for allergies). Can you install a window unit in the dorms that have no A/C?</p>
