Absolutely beautiful

I would prefer Key West - the only frost free city in the continental United States. We lived there in the 90s and the coldest it got was 45 one night. During the same day, it went up to about 65.

On the other hand - it has also never reached 100 degrees. The record high is 99 degrees. Great weather year round.

And when it reaches absolute zero, the Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup!
