🇺🇸 Bloomington vs 🇦🇹 Vienna

Bloomington is Indiana University's home city in the Hoosier National Forest hills of south-central Indiana. The limestone karst terrain creates unique drainage patterns and the wooded hills provide more moderation than flat northern Indiana. The city sees less lake effect than northern cities but can still experience significant ice storms.

Humid continental — cold winters, warm summers, variable transitional seasons

Vienna sits in the Danube basin surrounded by the Vienna Woods and the Alps to the west, which shelter it from the worst Atlantic weather but bring cold alpine air in winter. Summers are warm and lively; winters are cold but culturally rich.
