When I was a soph, one of my new floormates (freshman) was from Trinidad. The day the new freshmen moved in, we had a floor meeting to allow everyone to introduce themselves, say where they were from, their major, and something about themselves. The guy from Trinidad introduced himself and said "I'm really looking forward to seeing snow." The previous winter we'd gotten a total of 90 inches of snow... so we upperclassmen were all laughing and saying "You will... you will!!"
3 days before Thanksgiving break, there was a snow flurry. My floormate came running into the dorm, all excited, and said "WOW!!! Did you see that snowstorm???" I sat him down and explained, very patiently, that that was only a flurry, and it gets worse. A lot worse.
By February he wanted to go back to Trinidad...
