You are replying to a poster who despite living in Greater Miami, likes snow and freezes, so you know
Oh wow, this argument that has been used 4589275894724273934879328798 times against me. You are so original. It'll be an awesome day when you actually post something that has anything of substance.

Wasn't meant to be an argument, that poster was replying to you, so was making it clear that you think a climate that is "winterless" or "t-stormless" is boring (no sarcasm, really)
Oops sorry. For some reason when I gave my response to this thread I quoted alex985. I didn't meant to do this and have no idea why I did. My apologies.

Lol it's all good. I didn't really take your post as you talking or disputing with me, I was having issue with FireBird's apparent sarcastic, unoriginal comment about me which apparently was not his intention. Didn't mean to cause an argument or conflict.
As one who hates the cold, my instinct is to say that Australia has the "better" overall climate. However, I chose the US given its vast diversity of climate settings, which is worth a lot.

Thanks. I didn't mean to start an argument either.

That's the same as me. I to hate the cold which is why I didn't pick the US, but now I'm questioning my decision. The amount of climates in the US is an advantage. It's too bad most places suck for subtropical flora.

The lowland SW is your friend, i.e. Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles, SF Bay Area and Sacramento
United States. Australia is just an ensemble of boring climates.
Come now, just because we rarely have snow our climate is boring? Since when is snow the exciting factor of a climate? Sure, you can like snow, but you just gotta have a more reasonable and objective idea of what "boring" is and what it isn't. I mean, I loathe four seasonal climates (with snow) and tropical savannahs, but can I call them "boring" because I dislike them? Of course not.
Btw, an "ensemble of boring climates" will be New Zealand, the UK or any region that is predominantly under one climate zone, especially the oceanic one, which barely sees pronounced weather patterns. At least our arid regions, which, yes, "boringly" make up most of the continent, are prone to torrential rain events, thunder, hail and of course dust storms. Don't let me start on our tropical savannahs (also a large climatic zone here), where people wait excitingly for the rainy season (so boring, huh?). And even Melbourne's temperature swings wouldn't be quite boring. In fact, they're even annoyingly intrusive for people. And that's still "exciting" in a way.
Heck, unlike our deserts, the arid regions in the US barely see major rainfall or thunder events. They're usually perpetually dry and sunny, minus that odd monsoonal rain event. Everyone in here is calling Australia too dry, when our dry places actually do see some rainfall. Only a small portion of the desert (around Coober Pedy) gets rainfall under 200mm. Most of the Australian desert receives around 300mm of rain. Whilst, again, US deserts (although small in relative to the country) are bone dry - under 100mm of annual rainfall.
As one who hates the cold, my instinct is to say that Australia has the "better" overall climate. However, I chose the US given its vast diversity of climate settings, which is worth a lot.
Despite said climate diversity in the US, Australia has a huge area of its territory free of winter cold. The US on the other hand, has a quite small part of its area free of cold.
