I don't see how anyone can prefer Binghamton...freezing and 83" snow....have people voting for Binghamton lived in a climate like that where you have to shovel your driveway and sidewalk most winter mornings before you leave for work?
Binghamton is colder and gets more snow than what I'd consider ideal, but it's still better than getting no snow at all.
ValparaÃso, easily. Summers and winters are way more comfortable in ValparaÃso. There are not too many climates in the United States that are as comfortable as what is found in ValparaÃso.

Lived in a similar climate... not a big fan of the long, cold gray winters, but I enjoyed the frequent snowfalls. Also, renters often don't have to shovel.

But at least Valparaiso are 2-3 hours away from the permanent snow cover of the Andes,with several Ski Stations.
I like polls with more nuanced differences, like a poll between two subtropical climates. This is just a "winter hater", "winter lover", battle between two very different climates.
I'm not voting as it is just the usual discussion between the two groups.
And Alex, you are right, and one thing I have learned from this forum, is that people have very different climate preferences. I have to become better about understanding that and respecting peoples preferences.
I think constantly walking to work and having my back sweatsoaked makes me realize what you have to put up with for months on end. Not that I don't love humidity and tstorms, but it is a real kick in the a.. when you have to work in it and not laze around a beach all day.
Come up and visit Philly in the Fall. You will love it.

I appreciate that - and I will have to make it a mission to. I have an uncle that lives in DC so whenever I visit him I'll make sure to stop by Philly. I'll try to visit him in November or so.
I actually like thunderstorms and humidity too, it's when it lasts into October and November that it gets annoying. It can be as hot and humid as it wants from June-August though. Though I do like an early peak in heat, like perhaps early-mid July.
Valparaiso really is colorful, especially in the old historic part. I want to go there one day to snap pictures, since last time my camera was broken. There are A LOT of hills here, walking home is quite a workout

I totally get what you mean, humidity is cool...but only in the summer. I wouldn't want to live in a place that gets 90s year round, or even 90s in the shoulder seasons, in the summer it's enough
