I hear that Chicago has better summers, but NYC has better winters (slightly since it doesn't get as cold when factoring in wind chill). Who do you think has better weather overall (I could be wrong btw about Chicago having better summers, this is just based on what I've heard)

depends on what you mean by better, you could just look up the statistics and form your own opinion...

Statistics won't tell you much since you need to factor things like chill factor, overcast etc etc. I take New York's weather over Chicago's at any time, Chicago is simply to darn cold in the winter and as opposed to Atlantic, Lake Michigan is very seldom warm enough to swim in it.

Wrong again. I have lived both on the East Coast and on Lake Michigan. Take the lake any day for swimming.

Very true-lived there 12 years. But summer in Chicago is magical while summer in NYC is sticky and hazy

Not true-Lake Michigan is best in August-September- warm as a bathtub, seriously

Thats an excellent question. Chicago has its humidity (August)-I never lived in NYC.

Do you ever post anything that is factually correct?
