Summers are far too long and far too warm in terms of min. temperatures for me, though winters can get impressively cold for the latitude (record -18).
C minus. Only comfortable season would be winter, and even then, it usually reaches 80F at some point during the season, and that Feb record high is RIDICULOUS.

Since Sept 1946, when the NWS began snow records, San Antonio has had only 16 winters with any measurable snowfall, which is around a 24% probability.
Which way is this scale going? And how is it quantified? This poll is too vague, as are many on CD. Anyway, I am qualified to comment on this subject, as I have lived all over TX: Amarillo, Gatesville, Dallas, Palestine, Tyler, and I am currently in Houston ugh. Although I have not lived in SA, my late grandmother lived there for 18 months and my cousin, his four kids, and his ex-wife have lived there for about 20 years. San Antonio is too hot, a bit hotter than Houston, although that heat is a little more bearable because the climate is more dry than Houston. Of all the cities in TX I have lived, the worst by far is Houston. The humidity combined with the heat makes being being outdoors painful a lot of the time, and we have a bug problem like few other places. Houston has been voted "most air conditioned city on earth." But I digress. Amarillo is best, because the arid climate and wind makes the heat feel nice.
Dry air at work. New Orleans has an average high of 65F in February, never recorded above 85.
