Which winter do you prefer, New Orleans, LA's or Jacksonville, FL's?

I prefer New Orleans because it seems more prone to storms during winter and I think New Orleans is more likely to get snow. New Orleans has cooler average highs but Jacksonville has cooler average lows, and colder record lows.

Jacksonville for being drier. Note the records for Jacksonville are going much further back than those of NO.

I think comparing two kind of nearby Cfa climates is a bit pointless because I'm sure living in them, there's little difference to be felt. I like the larger variations of Jacksonville and greater frost chance, so I'll pick it just for that sake!

Jacksonville for it being a bit warmer, sunnier and drier overall

Jacksonville is slightly better in winter because of the colder winter lows. The slightly warmer summers cancel out any advantage it may have over New Orleans as a whole, however.

New Orleans, for being New Orleans.

To get a feel for NO in the winter if you've never had the pleasure, note that this was shot in and around the Big Easy in the winter of 1989.

It doesn't snow in New Orleans, that I know of. It's waaay too humid there for snow, as well as not very cold. It's a subtropical climate.

It doesn't snow every year, but it has snowed in New Orleans several times.
