ClimateMildLow Snow
No Real Winter
Places where winter barely asserts itself, with low snow and an easy year-round climate profile.
This is a first-pass climate collection for people who are done negotiating with winter. It is intentionally data-led: little snow, strong comfort, enough sun, and no giant humidity penalty hiding behind the headline.

What defines this collection
Collections are browse lenses, not rankings. These notes explain why these cities show up here in the first place.
Very low snowfall across the year, so winter stays more symbolic than dominant.
Strong sunshine and mild average highs, rather than just one pleasant season hiding a harsh one.
Avoids the obvious humidity and comfort traps that can make warm places feel worse than they sound.
