🇺🇸 Fargo vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Fargo on the Red River of the North is one of America's coldest cities, where continental Arctic air masses arrive with nothing to stop them across the Canadian Plains. Winter temperatures of -40°F are not uncommon and blizzards can be severe. The Red River Valley's flat terrain and rich soil mean spring flooding is an annual threat that has shaped the city's flood protection system.

San Francisco's climate is shaped by its position on a peninsula surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. The coastal fog (Karl the Fog) rolls in through the Golden Gate each summer afternoon, keeping temperatures mild year-round. The city has dramatically different microclimates — the Sunset District fog-bound while the Mission basks in sun on the same day.
