Yes, it's similar to Old Crow, Yukon but with colder winters and lower mins in the summer (and more precip). On my fictional planet the tilt is a little greater (27 degrees vs. 23.5 degrees here) so there's more seasonal variation, and it's located a bit further from it's major star (about 100 million miles instead of 93 million) so the global climate is a bit cooler. Average temperature on my fictional planet is 50 F versus 59 F here.

Additional question. What do you wear on "warm" winter days. I usually wear a t shirt or polo with jeans.

Warm is relative, but I think anything above 25F/-4C is warm in the winter. That's not to say I'll be out on the patio in a bathing suit, but at that temperature winter clothes start to be too much and if you're doing anything active, you definitely have to remove some layers. Below that temp is when the snow quality is best, too. Despite some of the claims on this forum, I don't believe anyone really thinks -4 is "warm", otherwise they'd have no reason to heat their homes or change to seasonal clothing; but that's when I feel very comfortable when I'm properly dressed (without any special cold weather gear) and very warm when I'm even moderately active outside in the winter.

Tampa. Avg low around 50f.

Pretty similar to Daytona, but you can have a wider variety of palm trees and it's the lightning capital

The day after New Years it hit 80 in Daytona and I wore shorts to go boating.

Generally above 50 F/10 C, especially if there isn't too much wind and there's sunshine.
