I'm just wondering if there's any bad/good connotation about Philly weather in general. The way you wrote above make it sounds like it's bad(?), but from my college years studying a few miles outside of Philly, I never thought it was bad.
I'd actually have said Philly had better weather than DC though. It's enough further south that summers are starting to get more southeastern in temperature/humidity (which I personally hate) and, while winters are milder, snow storms still happen but they're infrequent enough that chaos ensues.
