Not that much of a difference between Philly/NYC weather/temps and DC/Baltimore.
Your frequent mentinoning of DC/NOVA/MD belong to the "South" on these forums is getting annoying. During the Civil War and the 100 years or so that followed, sure, one can say they were southern. But not for the past 50-60 years.
Nowadays, it's more about pure geography. Look at a map of the USA, and VA is clearly located in the upper half of the country.
Repped. Actually during the civil war was the moment that Maryland and DC were the north. They called Lincoln president, not Jeff Davis.
I also grew up in DC (Tysons Corner). Yes, Philly and NYC have milder summers, but not by that much. For the last 10 years I've been living in San Antonio, TX, and DC's summers are a walk in the park compared to here. One of the reasons why next year I'll be moving back.

Nashville? hmmmmm. I live in what could be considered the mid-south (north Alabama) and I am very distressed at the lack of sun here. Too many cloudy days not to mention rain, thunder, lightning and tornadoes. But I could live with all that if there were more sun.

Scratch off Huntsville. I live very, very close to Huntsville and that's just not true that it's sunny. There are more cloudy days than sunny and people who have S.A.D. or love sun or grew up in a sunny area have a really hard time here. Other things about the area make it tolerable, but it's still difficult. I've been here almost 3 years. The first year was awful. Constant clouds and rain until I thought I would lose my mind. I was prepared to leave if the following year repeated, but it was much better.
OKC is right there with San Diego in terms of the amount of sun. My guess is that the great plains and especially the high plains are high on the sunny but still four seasons list.
I know that New Mexico in the South Western US but I think it should be considered. Santa Fe New Mexico or Northern half of New Mexico for that matter. I have never lived there but I used to go there twice a year with my family. It has 300 plus days a year of sunshine even if there is snow on the ground.
Yes indeed, I can attest to that having lived there. Very rarely did it stay overcast for long i.e. before or after a storm.
