B. Fantastic summers, good winters aswell, only problem is it is susceptable to very cold temps in winter.
Very cold temps are quite rare in this area, even on a cold day most of the time the temperature rise a lot during the afternoon (most of the time cold temperature occur only during the night and rarely stay cold during the day).

I give it a solid B+. There seem to be a lot of people here who either want it all tropical or all continental. Why not have some of both?

I wouldn't call it rare. It can stay pretty cold during the day in Biloxi with highs in the 30s and 40s F a few days most winters.

^^True. I was in New Orleans last school year, and it has a climate similar to Biloxi. Some days this past winter, it didn't even reach 40F; other days, it stayed in the 40sF as a high all day long.

Looks pleasant in spring and fall but just too much rain, even if it's in short bursts.

One of the coldest winters in decades, so not really fair to say that is average by any means.

Love when people judge a climate based upon what their Aunt Ethel's best friend's brother-in-law told their local pastor's wife what the weather was like when his cousin changed planes there a few years ago.

The average high for Dec 15th there is 62/45F.

By all accounts these temps are average there for this time of year. Yes, like all the South Biloxi gets some real cold. But eventually the winter average temps come back at some point.

This is why the fact that usda zones don't matter as much as people think. Sure southern UK is zone 11, but when in the world would Portsmouth have a forecast like this in mid December. This is why Biloxi can grow far more subtropical plants than other higher zone climates that are not truly subtropical.

Here is their current forecast:

I was trying to agree with you--what I meant was that anecdotal reports of a few random days in the 40s is not indicative of the climate as a whole.
