i was simply noting that it is a bit ridiculous to claim that Middlebury is “buried” under snow half the year, when Vassar is merely “grazed.” The fact is that Vassar gets more precipitation per year than Middlebury (at least according to weather.com). When it’s cold enough, that precipitation falls as snow. I’m sure winter comes a few days later in Poughkeepsie, and that spring comes a few days earlier, but I think it’s fair to say that both Vassar and Middlebury have cold, snowy winters. Enough with the meteorological discussion.
