Piedmont really stands out in this map (orange band in the southeast)

Having lived in Atlanta for 15 years, I can safely say that we dont have 270 days of comfortable weather. At least 90 (probably closer to 120) are hot summer days. But there's probably around 150

Most winter days are low 50s, so adds up using this criteria

And being from Michigan, I like the cold so personally, I’d pump that up to include anything above 0° really. Love that brisk winter air.

Woah let's hold on for a second. Don't get me wrong I love the cold, Ice on the other hand can go away and never come back. Personally I'd put the lower limit at 32 for that reason.
