I remember a story on the radi about the annual city Mayor's convention
several years back (15-20 years?), held during the winter, was in Miami
that year.  Terrible weather, freezing temps and blustery winds.  Just for
the heck of it the Mayor of Anchorage called home, got the weather and told
everyone, "Hey -- 50 degrees and sunny in Anchorage if we want to move this
thing up there!"  

Personally, I'm looking for the place with the weather conditions that both
Florida and California claim (but neither has).  I stole that line, anyone
know who from?
