I would have to say Chicago and miami and maybe Atlanta
Well, everyone seems to have different definitions of best weather. Chicago in January and February certainly do NOT fit my definition of best weather. Now a Chicago summer usually does.

on a lake, river, bay, or ocean...

If you want to snow skiing then that's what the mountains are for....

I would have to say Albuquerque----it usually only reaches 100+degrees only a couple times a summer, the winter is pleasant and sunny but nights are cold, fall is very very nice and spring is windy but very nice also, its really a mild 4 seasons.

We have our monsoon season and it snows a few times a year and its sunny almost all the time, I dont see how someone could not like sun all the time, its just dosent seem like day time without sun.

WTF is "boredness"?

You dont bicycle in 20 degree weather, instead you strap on some skis or ride a snowmobile. You know, those things you CANT do in L.A.

Hey everybody, L.A. must be some kind of mecca because you can ride a bike in winter. And fall. And summer. And spring. Hell, you better get used to riding a bike because thats about all youre gonna do with your lack of winter sport activities.

FYI... You can keep your seatless bicycle and ride it around all day, everyday. Sounds like a lot of "fun" day in and day out. Well, I guess it could be kind of interesting riding a bike in L.A. if you learn how to hop over earthquake crevices, ride through fire and dodge bullets, etc. Just be careful that Lindsay Lohan isnt around when you ride though.

Did you not notice those huge 8,000 to 10,000 foot mountains behind LA where you can do those things within a relatively short drive? Or the Sierra Nevada's a few hours north of LA?

Well if thats the case, then I can drive 4 hours south of Chicago where its warmer with a lot less snow and ride a bike in the winter.

The last time I went skiing in Big Bear was just after a storm a week earlier dumped a few feet of new snow. Then we were driving back down the mountain and b/c of some Santa Ana winds you could see all the way to LA on the way down and when we got back down to the valley floor it was probably still around 75-80 degrees after sunset. Nowhere else in the US that even possible, to ski during the day then be back home in 75 degree weather afterwards. I don't think a 4 hour drive in any direction from Chicago will bring you that kind of variety.
