I have a friend who was born and raised in Medford, WI, so I was inspired to pit her hometown's climate against that of another, larger city by the same name.
Medford, WI has a hemiboreal humid continental climate with cold winters, mild summers, and the summer precipitation maximum typical of the Upper Midwest. I will say that it has an impressive 149 F (83 C) range between its record high and low temperatures going for it.
Medford, OR has a Mediterranean climate, with cool winters and warm, dry summers. December is, interestingly, the coolest month of the year here, which is common among climates of the US West Coast. (Medford itself is some 79 mi (128 km) inland from the coast as the crow flies.)
My vote is for Oregon - it's too dry outside of winter, but the winters aren't nearly as hideous.
