<p>^Actually, the Macalester rep who visited my school pointed this out as a differentiating characteristic of Minnesota winters vs. Mid-Atlantic/NE winters: in Minnesota, it’s sunny, clear, and COLD. In New England, it’s dreary, cloudy, and slightly less COLD. (Both being significantly more cold than the mid-Atlantic, of course.)</p>
