I can't say that San Diego has better weather than Minneapolis, etc....because some people prefer seasons and some prefer year-round summer. So instead, I'm going to give the best representation of each climate, based off of this map (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/57/Climatemapusa2.PNG - broken link)
-the cities may not be exactly in these areas, but these are the best representors of them:

Semi-arid Steppe: San Diego
Humid Subtropical: New Orleans
Marine: Seattle
Mediterranean: San Fransisco
Continental (Cool): Minneapolis
Continental (Warm): Washington DC
Alpine: Denver
Tropical: Miami
Desert: Phoenix

1) Atlanta
2) Dallas
3) Houston
4) Baltimore
5) New York

I was only able to pick cities that I like as well as wanting my list to be diverse because I like the cool crisp fall and winter days that you get in New York and Baltimore and I also like the warm and mild winter days that you get in Texas and Georgia. I hate Califonia and Arizona because everyday feels the same. I would not want to live in California or Arizona but I do love to visit Califonia and Arizona.

+1 from me!

Never in a million years would I expect to see anyone vote for Minneapolis in a poll like this! I agree with your assessment 100%, too, which is even stranger!
