Getting into slightly shorter east-west highways (but with a better set of climates)... Interstate 40 (I-40) is a major east–west transcontinental Interstate Highway in the southeastern and southwestern portions of the United States. At a length of 2,556.61 miles (4,114.46 km), it is the third-longest Interstate Highway in the country, after I-90 and I-80. From west to east, it passes through California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Its western end is at I-15 in Barstow, California, while its eastern end is at a concurrency with U.S. Route 117 (US 117) and North Carolina Highway 132 (NC 132) in Wilmington, North Carolina. Major cities served by the interstate include Flagstaff, Arizona; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Amarillo, Texas; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Little Rock, Arkansas; Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville in Tennessee; and Asheville, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Durham, Raleigh, and Wilmington in North Carolina. So, which place has the best climate out of these? Wilmington, NC Raleigh, NC Greensboro, NC Asheville, NC Knoxville, TN Nashville, TN Little Rock, AR Fort Smith, AR Oklahoma City, OK Amarillo, TX Albuquerque, NM Flagstaff, AZ Needles, CA Barstow, CA

Wilmington, because it has the mildest winters and hot and humid summers.

Asheville is the "best" of this awful selection!

Should add some more western climates next time, especially if you’re gonna have 2-4 climates per eastern state and two identical NC places an hour apart. Unless you’re just doing the largest cities.
I like these threads though.
It’s close between Asheville, Amarillo, and Flagstaff. The latter was amazing summers and great snowfall but winter is too stable and prone to dry high 30s/low 40s that I don’t like. Amarillo is too hot in summer but has exciting winter variability. Asheville has the best temps but little snow and humid summers. I guess I’ll go with Flagstaff.

Steelernation I generally go for the more significant population centers and towns/cities at the two ends of said interstates, though for example I added Needles and Flagstaff to this climate battle considering that temp differences between those are great enough, I doubt anyone except the most hardcore desert foamers (if they see this thread/choose to post) would go for the former though.
