If it snows in Buffalo, this is wrong.
I'd give it to San Francisco but I like rain.

Buffalo is a top candidate for the most miserable city in the USA.
And fucking Shreveport? What is this list.

Now let's see the list of cities with best climate.
When's the last time you were here? It's turning around pretty solidly these last 5 years.

This. I spent four years at college in a school 3 hours south of Buffalo (with less lake effect snow) and it was miserable 90% of the time. Buffalo's weather is hellish 8 months a year.

I damn near melted last time I was in Shreveport. I don't get the research that was used to come up with this list.
Eh, can't speak for what you did or saw. But I've been here 30+ years and we've seen a marked improvement in every regard recently. It ain't Pittsburgh yet, but it's getting better every year.
We've actually had mild winters these last few snow wise, except for that one instance where we got like 8 feet in two nights haha Global warming has been good for something at least.

I never understand posts like this. There are a lot of backwater towns littered through out the country that have nothing going for them.
That said, I'm from buffalo and live here and have an amazing standard of living and love my 4 seasons.

No thanks, housing prices are already getting out of hand for my tastes :lol
But I did just buy a house so I wouldn't mind the property value going up!

I'm not really sure what the purpose of such a list serves if it's different every single year.
Is that what anyone here has said? Get off your high horse.
For what it's worth, San Diego is #1 on my 'places I would move if I had the chance' list.
Weather and climate changes every year. Why wouldn't the list change?
We need a list for the weather next year. WTF am I supposed to do with last years list???

Buffalo has no snow from may until November. Last few years we had about no snow in December either.

Didn't this last year though, it was really nice all throughout this winter. April was cold, but for the most part it's been downright pleasant.
Still, my first reaction to this list was to burst out laughing.
I don't think they've mastered the art of pregoc yet. They can barely predict tomorrow's weather, let alone a year from now.

I spent almost my entire life in Western New York and Buffalo. I really don't understand this.

Unless this is one of those "four seasons of weather is the best weather!" lists there's no way that Buffalo can appear on any list. It's miserable in Buffalo for 2 - 3 months of the year. Absolutely miserable. Passable for 2-3 months. And then pleasant for 6 months. Boston is similar. Miserable shit weather for 3 months. Tolerable for 3 months. And then pleasant for 6 months.
Also the thing with Buffalo is if you go 20 minutes outside of Buffalo, you can be absolutely nailed with multiple feet of snow, while Buffalo proper may stay above 35 degrees and get relatively little.
If you go 20 minutes outside of San Diego, you're still in beautiful Southern California.

Agree with the post entirely - Buffalo has turned around a lot it a short while. Still has a ways to go, but it's exciting to be a part of its rebirth.

My man! And it doesn't even rain all that much compared to the PNW.
SF is my ideal in terms of average temperature range day to day, season to season. San Diego gets too warm for me in the summer, and it doesn't rain enough there for my liking. The only time I mind hot weather is when I'm on the beach or near a pool and can stay in the water the whole time, but for normal day to day stuff it's just annoying and irritating. Cold weather in general, forget that noise.

Heh, I think you missed my point. I really want fewer people to move to SD so I can get a job there and move there myself.
Everyone wants low housing prices until they themselves own a house!
They're usually pretty good in AZ.
Today: hot, try not to die
Tomorrow: hot, try not to die
Everyday forever: hot, try not to die

Yeah, Buffalo and Shreveport are two of those towns.
Hah see you there!
That post was more in regards to quality of life than weather.

Yup. I'm not quite in Buffalo but Upstate NY and the weather is fine. I love having 4 seasons. I can't stand people that moan about snow in the Winter. It's Winter. Same as people complaining about heat in the Summer. It's Summer! Then you get the nice cool weather and foliage in the Fall. Spring is maybe the only mediocre season for a little bit when you have snow melting and it's not quite warm enough to do outdoors stuff but too warm to do winter activities.
