I don’t think anyone takes too seriously the relatively minor differences between these schools’ microclimates, they’re all going to be cold, though minor differences do add up to make each school unique overall. It’s more amusement than anything, to parse out the differences in minute detail, and it is helpful to hear others’ experiences both pro and con. The links are great!
DS has been warned about snow getting old by March. His father grew up in frigid and snowy eastern WA and had his fill for a lifetime. DS has also spent the last three years in Seattle with little snow but instead a dark, cold, relentless rain that stretches each winter from Halloween to July 5th, as the locals tell it. He thinks snow would be better.
