Moscow, Idaho and St Petersburg, Florida are American cities that share the same name with much bigger Russian cities. One is in the northwest of the country and the other in the southeast, so naturally have very different climates. Do you prefer Moscow's continental climate or St Petersburg's subtropical, almost tropical climate? Moscow, Idaho St Petersburg, Florida |

One of those battles where it's not necessary to look at the climate box, merely the geographic location to be able to cast a vote....  |

Didn't even have to look at the boxes, and I'm sure you know what my choice is

They both suck, so Iโll go with St Petersburg for having more comfortable months.

Both aren't great, but St Petersburg for not getting extremely cold

-15C isn't extremely cold.
Maybe by Melbourne standards it is, but it's really not. A lot of American cities get much colder in an average winter.

Most of the world south of 25*N would regard -15c as 'extremely cold' methinks.... so likely a substantial part of the worlds population ?

Why is 25N the cut-off point? That's Miami's latitude, and almost all of the rest of the US is above that.

About 40% of the world's populace lives within the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. |

About 40% of the world's populace lives within the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Most of the developed world does not. There are very few first world countries in the tropics. |

Because few if any places below 25*N ( unless at altitude or southern Texas or Northern Mexico ) would ever see a -15c and logically would think such a figure to be 'extreme' cold. I could change the figure to 30*N if its a better fit ?? |

Moscow, Idaho is almost at 47N.
True, but sorry, I'm not sure I get your point. Why is 30N or 25N some kind of criteria or cut-off point?

And Melbourne is 'extremely cold' by Australian standards  . It all depends on your perspective. |
