DC for me. Melbourne's climate screws me over by denying me snow. Also DC's summers are warmer overall.

I agree with tom77falcons, those Melbourne heat waves probably skew summer temps a bit,
take them out of the stats and average summer highs are maybe no more than about 24C,
no wonder Nuclear Chick Wings is always complaining

This is EXACTLY what happens. It is usually a plethora of low-mid 20's days broken up by 1-3 day hot spells before the next fail at life coldfront with its week-long infestation of southerlies

Slight edge to DC. Melbourne's winters are more appealing than D.C.'s, but that alone isn't enough to offset D.C.'s summer advantage over Melbourne.
