In all of the battles, the Virginia climate was the same or better. But if Kentucky gets better storms and cold snaps, I'll pick Kentucky. The cities you chose are about the same though. Are the coldest towns in Kentucky colder than Virginia? I'm not sure which one is colder. This is the coldest town in Virginia I can find: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monterey%2C_Virginia#ClimateDon't think there's anything quite this cool in Kentucky, though this is almost at 3,000 feet in elevation. If Kentucky had some towns at that altitude, I'm sure they'd be colder. |

If Kentucky had some towns at that altitude, I'm sure they'd be colder. That looks like somewhere a ways further north. Similar summer to here, but milder in winter. Far better than any of the options in the poll, it's a B+ climate. Edit: Highs are very similar to New Haven, CT but nights are 5F cooler in Monterey and snow is higher. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Haven,_Connecticut#Climate

Virginia for epic climates like Roanoke , Danville , Richmond , and Norfolk

Virginia for epic climates like Roanoke , Danville , Richmond , and Norfolk The western half of Virginia (and North Carolina, for that matter) is too susceptible to freezing rain. Otherwise good climates. |

Virtually a tie because Virginia Beach is better than anything seen in either state, yet the median of Kentucky is better because of it being a bit less hot in summer (in general) and better chances of snow. Can't properly decide. Quality or quantity?

Wtf are you doing? Why are you literally picking the most similar comparisons you can find? The general difference between Virginia and Kentucky is Kentucky has colder winters and maybe a little warmer summers, but in none of your examples there is any significant difference at all. Pointless. That being said, I'll take Virginia because I want the warmer winter that Virginia GENERALLY HAS.

There's actually quite a difference in terms of severity of cold snaps in winter between both states. Averages don't tell the whole story. Kentucky gets quite a bit more extreme cold in winter than Virginia does. Also, Virginia is much more prone to big snowstorms than Kentucky is, and Kentucky is much more prone to severe weather in spring. That being said, yes you're right, the two climates on paper are extremely similar. |

It's that Tij made them out to be almost identical when in reality they're not. VA has on average quite a bit warmer winters, but Tij paired up cities in a way that made it seem like there was no difference at all pretty much |

^ I get what you're saying, but just a slight correction, it wasn't tij who started this thread (though I can see why it would appear that way).

I chose Virginia for its coastal climates.
