Another site lists it as 21. Can't list it as mods will remove it. But more sources than one list Cincy above 20.
Cincy is not humid subtropical. It is humid continental transitioning to subtropical. Pittsburgh is likewise NEAR the transition.
Cleveland is of course snowier than either and I think if you combine the snowfall totals of both cities you may still not be at Cleveland levels.
No, just admit you were proven wrong. Pittsburgh gets double (or 4X depending on which number is correct) the snow and is significantly cooler at ALL times throughout the year. Look at a Koppen map (like the one I used as a source). Pittsburgh is over 150 miles from the border of the zone and Cincinnati is IN in the humid subtropical (although at the northern end of it). It's a proven statistic and I provided correct information for every claim I've made.
Cleveland gets more snow than both (~63") but it's climate is like Pittsburghs just snowier due to it being on the lake.
Of these two, Cincinnati looks more like Pittsburgh overall, although I don't find their downtowns to be very similar. People-wise, I'd say Cleveland is more similar to Pittsburgh. As for jobs & economies, I guess Cleveland is probably more similar. Weather-wise, Cleveland is more similar.

I'm not sure I get the history thing. Cincinnati is a city that boomed even earlier than Pittsburgh - starting in the 1840s. Cleveland didn't really set off on massive growth until the early 20th century. Pittsburgh was between the two, but taking into account the long period of time that Allegheny City wasn't amalgamated into Pittsburgh, it was far more of a 19th century city than Cleveland.

Where are you getting this idea that Cincy is humid subtropical? Do you want to see a climate zone map? The Ohio divides the zones.

Exactly. Most people don't know what they're talking about on this forum, like at all. They just make things up to conform to what they already want to think is true. Very stupid.

What?? The reference was to colonial history. That's pre-1776. Neither Cincinnati or Cleveland has any. Pittsburgh does. Here I will bold the reference for you.
