Wagga Wagga, NSW. Walla Walla, WA does not have, on average, enough winter cold and/or snow to compensate for the lack of sunshine then. Summer temps and record highs are similar, but the NSW location has more summer rain, which is another plus.
Walla Walla, no contest. Those sunshine totals on that table look a little suspect though. I think they should be higher in the winter. Of course I could be wrong, but according to that it sees less sunshine in winter than Seattle, and that just doesn't seem correct to me.
Wagga Wagga for me (more sun, warmer winters). Both are fantastic in summer though -- nice hot afternoons but refreshingly cool overnight. Wagga Wagga has cold winters by Aus standards. Ideally I'd live in Walla Walla 9 mths per year but spend the southern winter in Wagga Wagga. I'd be a Walla Walla / Wagga Wagga wesident!
I'll take Wagga Wagga as well for the better name and warmer, sunnier winters.
I choose Walla Walla simply because Bugs Bunny referenced it in one of his cartoons. It was the one where he went to the castle, and the vampire was trying to catch him. He had read a book of spells before going to bed one night, and he would torment the vampire with the spells that he learned.
Abracadabra, and the human vampire would change to a bat. Hocus Pocus, and the bat would change back to a human vampire. Then he started mixing it all up, Abracapocus. Pocuscadabra. Walla Walla, Washington.
That episode has always been one of my absolute FAVORITE Bugs Bunny cartoons. In addition to that, just about every single sales person on the old Looney Tunes and Bugs Bunny cartoons claimed to be from Walla Walla, Washington.
