Texas is a huge state that nearly stretches 11 degrees of latitude between the southernmost point and the northern border with the Oklahoma Panhandle, so I figured it'd be interesting to have a battle between it's two extremes.
First choice is Brownsville in the far south on the Mexican border. Located at nearly the same latitude as Miami, nearly a full-blown tropical climate.
Second choice is Stratford, in the far north near the Oklahoma border at nearly the same latitude as Nashville, almost a full-blown continental climate.
For me, I easily choose Stratford. Much more interesting and the winters actually get quite cold and they get about the same amount of snow as somewhere like Cincinnati. Brownsville is essentially a drier, more continental version of the climate here so that's a no go, though still better than here.
