🇺🇸 Flint vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Flint in east-central Michigan has a humid continental climate with cold, snowy winters and warm summers. The Flint River flows through the city and became infamous for its water crisis from 2014-2019. Positioned between Lake Huron to the east and Lake Michigan to the west, Flint can receive lake-effect snow from both lakes depending on wind direction.

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.
