Saying something like that is totally what a statement of purpose is all about.
A good idea might be to email a prof in that group you're extra interested in and ask some good questions. GEt them on your side come admissions.

I actually almost went to Case for undergrad. Personally, I liked Cleveland a lot. But you and I have incredibly different tastes in things like that, I think.
In terms of cold, just make sure you're well-stocked. Get a good winter coat (buy it there, not in SoCal). If you get one that is long, you'll stay warmer. Also, snow-boots (thick) and mittens are warmer then gloves. So long as your'e careful to dress right and have enough blankets, you should manage the cold, though you may not be happy.
Also, Cleveland is right on Lake Erie (I think that's the one) and being right on a big lake tends to help a city have slightly more moderate temperatures (more snow, less cold).

Good luck! I would think you'd have a good shot at Case.
