<p>so weather.com is predicting about 40-55F over CPW. Although I’m from Texas, I definitely like the weather a little cold (and rainy) because I enjoy protecting myself from the elements. It sounds strange, but it’s fun to combat nature. or maybe I just like to wear water proof jackets.</p>

<p>anways, are there any stores near MIT that ya’ll recommend to buy cold weather gear? or is it easier to just order stuff online?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>ummm ive only been to MIT once… but i recommend the Coop. Yes the clothes are pricey (45-60$ for a hooded sweatshirt) but a hoodie from there will supply your cold gear and get you into the MIT spirit. And MIT gave us a 10% off coupon. :D</p>

<p>Do you know if it will be sunny/rainy/cloudy/snowing? I’ve been scouting weather pages but they don’t go that far into the week yet.</p>

<p>Most years, Boston weather miraculously gets really nice for CPW – people say that it’s because of the weather machine that MIT keeps tucked away for special occasions. :)</p>

<p>Panasonic, do you mean real cold weather gear? Like ski jackets? Or do you mean spring weather wear?</p>

<p>like ski jackets! do you think they would be on sale this time of the year? I’m assuming 40-55F is not that cold in Boston terms</p>

<p>Haha, okay. I was a little worried.</p>

<p>Ski jackets are probably on sale – I know there were some huge sales up in Maine when I went skiing last weekend.</p>

<p>There’s an [url=<a href=“http://www.rei.com%5DREI%5B/url”>http://www.rei.com]REI[/url</a>] up in Harvard Square, and an [url=<a href=“http://www.ems.com%5DEMS%5B/url”>http://www.ems.com]EMS[/url</a>] next to the Fenway stop on the Green D line, as well as another near the Prudential Center shopping mall.</p>
