I think that poster is referring to the occasional bouts of very cold temps that reach Miami. San Diego doesn't get those, but it does stay cooler just about year-round.
San Diego's record temperatures are lower than Miami's. Where can I find information about occasional cold bouts? I want to compare Miami's cold bouts with San Diego's.
I do remember it dipping into the low 60s in Miami. Man, that was a cold weekend.

Oh, and I prefer San Diego's weather.
The record low in Miami is 27F. The record low in San Diego is 20F. The difference is that San Diego doesn't get as cold when cold fronts pass through as Miami does, but it stays cooler for longer. In other words, during a cold snap, Miami can be 50F during a day in, say, January, and night can be frezing temperature. San Diego on that day will be 65F/45F. But a week later, Miami is back to 77F/55F, San Diego is still stuck at the same cool temperatures.

San Diego's geography has alot to do with that. San Diego has mountains to its east, so that blocks most of the cold coming in from Canada. Works the same way for most populated areas in California.

Yes. I was wondering where I could find information about these cold snaps. how often do they happen? I'm not sure if it ever hit 50 degrees when I was in Miami, but maybe it was warmer than average.

The most recent one that was very devastating was in early 2010. I know that a lot of iguanas and other exotic animals that have been introduced to Florida died, or at least went into a hibernation stage. A lot of coconut palms, royal palms, foxtail palms, christmas palms and more died up in marginal areas in central FL, heck, even a few died in South Florida. Those that managed to survive were severely injured, and there were some snow flurries on January 9, 2010 spotted by trained observers in South Florida. That's the second time it happened, after January 22, 1977, but some people say it has happened even more than those two times. Still, this is rare. I do know, however, that the night temperatures in a lot of places in South Florida are usually around 56F during wintertime, but the coastal areas probably don't get that low at night.
I see 25 as the low, either way the lowest recorded temperature for San Diego will be where it's measured.
Weather.com shows 29, which I am pretty sure is the Airport, SD's official weather station.
