Yes, Medford competes with Tri-Cities, WA and Lewiston, ID for the hottest summer temps in the 3-State region. However, this forecast is quite unusual. Medford averages 88-90 for highs throughout the summer.
Medford still qualifies on climate but it's a small city. What people that have never lived out west may not realize is that places with low humidity can get very hot for short stints but then cools off at night. Medford's average July high and low is 91/57....so when you get up it's 57F and only gets a bit hot (though dry) by 11 or noon. Overall, Medford has a very nice yearly climate.
Nashville we hardly get any snow anymore, they do get some ice. Worst season here is the summer. Winters here are a joke most times it is in the 40s and low 50s, sometimes even 60s in Dec and Jan.
OP, within your parameters, the only real mild areas of the country will be found in three key slivers:
1.) The southern coast of Oregon (i.e. Brookings).
2.) Certain medium elevation areas of the low-latitude DSW (i.e. Las Cruces).
3.) The coastal South (LA, MS, AL, GA, SC, and especially NC).
That's it. Everywhere else in the Lower 48 will be far too extreme in weather in one way or another.
I don't see how you don't understand that "mild" is relative. Maybe you have some idea of a particular climate that you define as mild, but saying that North Georgia isn't mild when compared to the United States as a whole is ridiculous. Also, to say that "Americans have no idea what a mild climate is" just makes you an *******. Everyone knows that North Georgia is less mild than Cancun or Miami. Go away.
Birmingham is moderate three seasons out of the year, getting snow about once every 2-3 years. In truth, with the exception of July and August, it doesn't get that hot. Or maybe I'm just used to it.
I think he just meant it doesn't snow there often, not that they are megapolises.
i know but the OP asked for metros with at least a million.I do agree that Alamogordo and Cruces have nice winters
