College Prowler Take

“Depressing,” “weird,” “horrible,” and “crazy” are some of the words students use to describe the Binghamton weather—these are the words we’re allowed to print, anyway. At Binghamton, you will be sure to get a taste of every season, sometimes all in the same day. Yes, it is cold and cloudy; winter is long, and it tends to rain and snow a lot. But the snow can make for some fun activities, and many students point out that when the weather gets nice, and it gets really nice, the students appreciate it even more.

The weather is not the greatest attraction anywhere in upstate New York. At least the crazy conditions bring people together during the long winter months and make the nice days seem all the more sweet. Still, if you hate cold weather and need to see the sun at least once or twice a week, you might be very unhappy at Binghamton.

It is cold and rainy in Binghamton for the majority of the year, and during the time of year when other parts of the state experience spring, do not be surprised if Binghamton doesn’t, because chances are we won’t.

In a word, the weather sucks. It’s very depressing. Winters are very cold, and it gets very windy. There’s not a lot of sun and quite a lot of rain. It bothers me, but some people really couldn’t care less.

The weather is about as predictable as the lottery—you can wear shorts on a warm weekend in March and have snow a week later. Bring lots of layers and a good pair of boots for getting around the slick sidewalks.

The weather is pretty horrible, but it brings the students together. We all sludge through the cold and the wetness, and it only heightens our appreciation of the fantastic spring (about the last month and a half of school). It gets really cold and snows a lot, so bring winter stuff.
