It is almost a cliche but my friends who moved to LA truly do miss the seasons, especially leaves changing colors. It is like living in a giant open-air mall all year long. When nothing changes but the store displays, the seasonal heartbeat is lost. Living in LA, of course, means they can go to the beach all-year long with a short commute though. Snapchat is particularly smart for having its corporate headquarters almost on the beach.
Year-long road trip where it's 70°F every day in North America

#12Here's an idea for an app: a program that does this for any desired temperature range. Set it to 65-75F, and you probably don't have that big detour to Alaska. This ought to be a function in travel planning programs.

Any chance you could deploy a Celsius version for the rest of the world?

#14I'm not sure the writer understands the project. The route is constructed so that the daily high temperature is 70, so most of the time is spent in sub-70 degree weather. If "69 degrees and below makes you shiver like a soaked kitten", you're SOL.

The dataset used, for anyone curious.

I walked by their office the other day and I think the venice snapchat office has moved. Ran out of space maybe?

Very nice. Can you make it take a temperature range?

I feel a little embarrassed how long I spent clicking on the temperature curve before finally noticing the little dragbar underneath which is how you change the target temperature on that. The lack of geographical or movement constraints make the results less interesting than OP, though.

#19Or you could just live in the SF Bay Area, and do a mild east/west traverse that doesn't range more than 50 miles. Problem solved.

#20Or they could just stay in San Diego all year round....
I was gonna say... the trip to Alaska seems unnecessary. Average highs never surpass 70°F in San Francisco: http://www.usclimatedata.com/climate/san-francisco/californi...
