That's really an opinion. I consider Atlanta to have harsh winters btw, am I wrong?
I believe that Coral finds the Atlanta winter harsh, as he tends to keep his hat on. Protects his Coral brain you see. Rick however, finds it rather pleasant.
Atlanta does not have "harsh" winters, FFS. That's the equivalent of me saying Winnipeg has steamy summers. You guys are really twisting and stretching the meaning of "harsh". What's next, is someone going to call Orlando harsh? Lol.
Atlanta's winters aren't on the brink of survival or life-threatening by any means. Seriously, I understand that people have their preferences, but to call Atlanta harsh is well, stupid.
Seems people think the slightest bit of discomfort is "harsh".
One of the last times I was in San Francisco I probably experienced the most anomolous ~week in the history of the city
Temps were in the High 80's most of the week with NO fog whatsoever. The last day dawned bright and warm witb temps climbing toward the middle 80's then clouds moved in and I was treated to a suprisingly potent bay-area thunderstorm.
How often does that happen!?
I was in San Francisco last September (downtown for work) and it was sunny and HOT! Like mid 90s, and rather humid every day. I was sweating just walking around. I was there last December and it was sunny and mild, pleasant evenings for walking around, even though it was dark.

"Harsh" for me implies that certain aspects of a particular climate make life difficult. Yakutsk is very harsh, whereas Atlanta is very hospitable. I wouldn't even deem my own winters harsh, as much as I hate them, other places have it far worse.

Exactly. Even Tallahassee can have cold snaps where people can freeze to death if they're not dressed properly and out for a long time, does it mean it's "harsh"? Certainly not.
Like I said, I think people think the slightest discomfort constitutes as harsh.

Not really, sure it's unpleasant, but not "harsh". The main issues with Miami summer is how long they last, and how high the sun angle is.
I would consider it more relentless and unpleasant, rather than "harsh". It's not difficult to survive a Miami summer, it just sucks.
Either way, a Miami summer is far more "harsh" than an Atlanta winter. Atlanta gets plenty of mild and pleasant days in winter, while Miami gets no break in tropical heat and humidity for six months. It's really no comparison.
I would consider Phoenix and Palm Springs summers as harsh though.

Atlanta's winter's not harsh at all. It's comparable to Hobart, Tasmania. Winters get harsh north of New York City, IMO, with the city being borderline.

The fact that Atlanta shut down for two days for icy/snowy conditions (which was four inches of snow at most) speaks to how mild they actually are.
That's like me saying Fairbanks has hot summers, because it has the potential to hit 90 F. Rather foolish.
There was an NFL player who died of heatstroke in Minnesota back in August 2001, does Minnesota have "harsh" summers? No it doesn't.
Atlanta also gets plenty of 60 F and 70 F days during winter as well, matter of fact the average high never even drops below 50 F.
This. It's highly likely that much more people die in Atlanta in the summer rather than winter, it's just that they don't print that because it would occupy too many newspaper's pages.
I think Minneapolis has very hot summers, with many days getting above 90 °F, it wouldn't be very pleasant to go outside for more than 15 minutes on those days. There are other comfortable (though very warm) summer days in Minneapolis, but that doesn't take back the fact that there also many hot days. Never underestimate a place's summer just because there gets extremely cold winters.
However, I think Miami's summers are harsh. Temperatures are above 90 °F virtually every day, with no kind of relief even in the early morning, and I'd be confined to A/C buildings for 4 consecutive months, since I prefer temperatures between 50 °F and 70 °F when walking outside (I can stretch them from 35 °F to 77 °F too, but the former range is more comfortable for me).
