Duluth has very comfortable summers thanks to its location on the shores of Lake Superior. I would pick Duluth for comfortable summers, cold/snowy winters and overall location.

Duluth. Duluth winters aren't all that severe, try interior Alaska / Yukon / NW Territories, to say nothing of Siberia.

San Francisco is easily the best even though it's just a C.

Bullhead City, AZ is somewhere in between.

Duluth, MN is easily the worst. Terrible climate.

Easily San Francisco. That being said, Duluth itself is slightly warmer than what its airport stats are showing since it is more shielded by the lake.

Compare https://weatherspark.com/y/146277/Av...tes-Year-Round to

https://weatherspark.com/y/146279/Av...tes-Year-Round.

I'd prefer Duluth's winters to bullhead city summers as the lake shields the city from the worst polar blasts, and persisent 110+ seems incapacitating regardless of how "dry" heat is. That being said, bullhead's transitions seem more comfortable as a whole than those of northern Minnesota although September still looks terrible there so it's a difficult choice imo, and its also much more arid.

I'm picking San Francisco because I much prefer extreme mildness to extreme cold or heat. The only real problem with San Francisco is summer having too much fog and too little rain.

Out of that list I'd probably choose Duluth with SF as my 2nd pick.

If it was based only on weather and not politics :-) I'd choose AZ. Although not a huge fan of that kinda heat, I'd still prefer it to the rain, moisture, clouds etc of SF.

Duluth....? No way...
