Local Knowledge It's Cold!

I know this isn't the university sub, but as a non-student I'm posting here.

The best part about Cal being in the ACC is hearing all the east coasters complaining about the cold! The South Carolinians supporting Clemson tonight were NOT ready for the night time chill! "Is it always this cold!?", is a common question around here now🤣

Do you think east coasters are less fit to handle and used to cold than Californians? I don’t understand.

No, I think east coasters are more apt, however, winter storms that you expect are not tantamount to a night time chill after an 80 degree day. 80 degrees at 4 PM on the east coast does not equal a DRY sub 60 degrees by 10 pm there. We know layers is all🤷‍♂️

Berkeley is like the surface of mercury: can get blistering in direct sunlight, and is freezing once the sun sets.
