<p>My DS went from the Big Island of Hawaii to Boston. Winters are a *itch, as far as he’s concerned, and after two winters of listening to him whine about the snow on the ground in April and May, I’m tired of it. Nonetheless, he thinks the education is worth it and plans to tough it out, before he moves someplace more reasonable after graduation.</p>
<p>However, this winter he learned to ice dive. Scuba diving under the ice. (I think he’s insane.) Winter activities don’t seem to make the actual slogging through dirty snow any easier.</p>
<p>He’s not cold, mind you, he’s annoyed.</p>
<p>I don’t think you can do much expect hope it works out. My son loves MIT and doesn’t plan to leave (even as he *itches and moans about the weather).</p>
