Over Dec-Feb, it's 20-25 and sunny... which I prefer over 38 and rainy on the East Coast. In early spring, though, when the rest of the country is in the 70s and we're in the 40s, I'm not as much a fan, because at this point I'm tired of winter. However, I'll take 10.5 months of nice with noticable seasonal variation. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=287833&forum_id=2#4162786) |

|
Date: October 29th, 2005 12:56 AM Author: marvelous topaz codepig Ok. I believe that.
I think a lot of the reason why the winter of 2005 was considered to be mild is that it was relatively short. By February it was into the 30s-50s, and by April it was T-shirt weather. (Though we did get that freakish May snowstorm.) That doesn't usually happen with the MN winter. It seems that the bulk of winter happened in Dec-Jan. |

Date: October 29th, 2005 1:01 AM Author: marvelous topaz codepig More May snowstorms? :)
This should be a mild winter in the northeast (by which I include the Midwest east of the Dakotas) because of the active hurricane season. Hurricanes carry a lot of tropical heat into the northern latitudes.
(Actually, I take that back. I did some research and, for reasons I do not understand, hurricane seasons result in colder winters. This is counterintuitive, given the ridiculous amount of energy they dissipate.) |

Date: October 29th, 2005 1:03 AM Author: violent low-t chapel prole No, I mean another short winter. I had no problem with the winter here, other than that sub-zero week in Jan. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=287833&forum_id=2#4163140) |

St. Paul has a reputation for being more livable and is probably cheaper. |

Date: October 29th, 2005 10:13 AM Author: pontificating ivory gaping You are actually looking at north of 500k for a house in a nice, long-term living, neighborhood (close to the city, decent school district for kids, decent home and neighborhood).
But, all said, it's about half the price as the coasts and with this year's BIGLAW raises competitive with coast and Chicago BIGLAW, especially when you consider hours and COL differences.
Minneapolis is one of the nicer cities I've been in. I like SF more, but, figuring in COL I would pick Minneapolis over it to live in long-term. I also like it more than DC (same political feel, less COL, and DC gets annoying after awhile). |

|
Date: October 29th, 2005 12:16 PM Author: violent low-t chapel prole "because that clearly never stopped me from getting firm jobs 1L and 2L summer"
How do you have firm jobs over both summers and not have a job going forward? You couldn't convince one of these employers to keep you, even if they were only temp summers jobs? Most of the 3Ls I know are in the 2nd quartile, I only know 3 in the first. They all have jobs. The few I know in the 3rd quartile have jobs, but with much smaller firms. I do know a dude in the bottom that cannot find work. But its obvious why. |
|
