The point of the original article (if anyone bothered to read it up top) is that many of the sunniest cities in the south never see snow at all. They never have white Christmases, and they don't offer winter recreation.
...right. The answer is "no."

HELL to the no...have you ever been to the SF Bay Area?I was there in February and it was rainy and cold and miserable. It was also during a weird week here in Ohio where it shot up to 50 degrees, so it was warmer here. ;)
I love San Francisco, but the way the evenings turn chilly in the summer is annoying to me.

I love San Francisco, but the way the evenings turn chilly in the summer is annoying to me.The clime in NoCal is beautifully moderated by the pacific coast current, but yeah its downright nippy in the evenings even in summer. You don't get as many "bbq on the patio in shorts" warm summer nights we get here. Last time I was there in dead midsummer it was just too chilly to enjoy the evenings without a jacket and a good hot drink (Irish Coffee was the bev of choice that week). That cold cold ocean water really does the trick there in the bay. On the other hand you don't need to run the AC to cool the house down at night! NoCal is a lovely area if you don't mind occasional earthquakes and don't want much seasonal variation.
There seem to be two kinds of people: those who desire seasonal variation and those who do not. I submit these two kinds of people would never agree on what the "best" climate is.

All I know is this: I am on Spring Break this week from work, so naturally there will be wind, some chilly weather, and of course, rain...in the forecast! It's simply inevitable :) But, there is nothing like curling up with a good book on an overcast day, so Ohioans should be well-read :)

Columbus has that too. It's called "spring."
I don't Jim, you can't say every day in spring is rainy and cold and miserable. For example, today was windy, cold and miserable.

I get tickled whenever I hear/read folks complaining about the "lack of sun".... I'd challenge anyone to live in upstate NY. Binghamton, to be exact. Those big weather lists only include places of certain population sizes... Binghamton, NY - 52 sunny days/year... Columbus, OH - 72.

It was? I thought it turned out half decent. Sunny for sure. Cold wasn't anything a long sleeved tee couldn't handle.

Summertime in the sun belt can be oppressive and extreme heatwaves can keep people trapped indoors during what are supposed to be the nicest months of the year....I would argue that winter kinda traps us indoors due to its coldness...
Same here. And summer here can get pretty hot too, even for me. Double whammy?

As long as the long sleeved tee was covered by a shirt and a coat, yes.
It was sunny, but deceptively cold and the wind was killer. I suppose it looks nice if you're driving from place to place, but spending much time out in it kinda sucked.
