Snow has finally came to the area and turned Dayton into a wintery wonder land.

While a lot of us in the Gem City are used to arctic winters and blazing summer temperatures, not everyone is.

WalletHub categorized 600 of the largest cities in the U.S. on two sets of weather conditions: lovers of mild weather year-round and lovers of individual seasons.

They used nine key metrics like temperature, humidity, sky conditions, extreme weather, etc. to rank cities with the best and worst weather.

Each city was given a percentile rank, for example, a value of 10 means that the city belongs in the top 10 in the tame weather category.

The three cities that topped the list were all located in California: Glendale, Pasadena and Burbank.

Here is the four seasons overall percent of nine Ohio cities and the individual percent’s of each season, according to WalletHub:
