Syracuse, N.Y. — I love Syracuse winters in December. Even in January, the snow looks fresh and beautiful. But by mid-February, shoveling snow in freezing temperatures loses its appeal.

When I have trouble remembering what sunshine looks like, it’s time to consider taking a trip.

San Diego is the perfect cure for Syracusans fed up with winter.

In an average February, the sun shines on the streets of San Diego an average of 71 percent of the hours between sunrise and sunset, according to the National Climatic Data Center. In Syracuse, the average is 39 percent.
