🇺🇸 Idaho Falls vs 🇺🇸 San Francisco

Idaho Falls in eastern Idaho along the Snake River sits at 4,710 feet elevation with a true continental climate. Winters are significantly colder than Boise with temperatures regularly dropping below 0°F and substantial snowfall. The Snake River creates a riparian corridor through the city, and the city is in the Pacific Northwest volcanic zone with Craters of the Moon nearby.

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.
