There does seem to be a sweet spot or at least a minimum of about 20C for the summer. People seem to willing to put up with a lot during the winter provided they get a decent break during the summer. Some of the larger cities in Siberia have insane cold in winter but get up into the 20s during the summer.
I wonder what the largest city in the world is that has no real summer (think 15C maximums or less) and very cold winters?
There are places like the west coast of Norway and Iceland and La Paz in Bolivia that don't really warm up in the summer, but their winters aren't what I would call extremely cold.
Any ideas people?
Norilsk in Russia is the coldest place in the world with more 100,000 people. The only reason it exists is for mining the huge nickel deposits in the area Norilsk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palm Springs is not the only place where I can enjoy nice warm weather in the US....it is what it is.
Oh lord i'm more than aware of that.... It all comes down to preference... For some people a few months of winter weather will be a dealbreaker - for alot of people it simply won't be - especially if they know that few months of winter is mitigated by spring, summer and fall... They adapt and move on and actually enjoy and take advantage of the variety ie buildings a snowman, having a snowball fight - going tobogganning or sking - playing hockey etc.. There's also something magical at Christmas when there is some snow on the ground and you take part in something like the Seasonal Cavalcade of lights.. Chestnuts roasting by an open fire lalala.. Some people will fall in love with places like Toronto, New York, Montreal, Chicago, Stockholm etc because to them the world doesn't revolve around year round hot weather...
