Technically, yes, but for the sake of argument, lets put it in the category of Chicago and Boston and not in the category of Atlanta and Houston.

New York's winters are like Alaska compared to the latter two.

Oh, and I prefer Humid continental. I like extreme cold and extreme heat. In Chicago and New York, I get both!

Perfect weather is 50-80. I really like 55-65 because it gives that shorts or pants option (you'll be okay either way), so I'll go with Mediterranean and Humid Subtropical climates.

Yea you don't want to be in SF during typical summer months, you will freeze your booty off . Best time to go to expereince SF's warm mediterranean weather is during the months of September-November. SF experiences "Indian Summers". It's a period of sunny warm weather in autumn.

You can always tell who the toursit are in SF because they show up wearing shorts and tank tops in June. True fact that San Francisco sells more sweatshirst during the summer months (June-August) than any other period during the year.

I was at a hotel in SF setting up a room for my boyfriends bother and his little friends to come back to after prom in late May (the weather was freezing and the fog had rolled in) and a man in the elevator (wearing shorts ofcourse) stated he was from Ohio and wondered what was wrong with the weather out here Nothing wrong with the weather, you just have to know the right months to visit if you are looking for that typical warm California weather

I think you could've used better examples for Humid Continental (Minneapolis) than Boston or NYC.....Minneapolis' climate is much more continental than either of those 2.....and for Sub-Arctic Fairbanks, AK is a better example than Anchorage..

Anyway, I'd like it somewhere between continental and sub-arctic.

Humid Continental for me. It is like the buffet of weather. All types of weather:hot, mild, cold, freezing cold, sun, clouds, fog, rain, snow all occur. I like having different weather for each season. I

I voted for sub-arctic.

Winters in Anchorage are quite mild however. Wish they were colder/snowier.
