My experience of both NYC and Chicago was day trips or overnight stays so

 I was first in SF in the '80s before it had deteriorated, but again not
for a long stay. I lived in coastal New Hampshire and was used to the
weather patterns of the north Atlantic, cold morning fog that burned off
around noon. What impressed me was SF managed to spin that as 'delightful
sweater weather'.

 That con is frequently used in sweden. Sometimes I can get very close to
killing people in sweden when I hear the tired old saying "det finns inga
dåliga väder, bara dåliga kläder".
 My translation is, the person in question cannot afford to travel to the
sun, so must firm up their psyche with nonsense. ;)

 The 'google' translation is:
 "there are none bad weather, only bad clothes"
 I do not know any Sweedish, so I can't say which is the closer to the
actual meaning.
 

 That is the literal meaning, the actual meaning is my translation.

No. that is the meaning as seen from your own narrow viewpoint.
Some people like the cold.

Incorrect. I have lived there and checked all variables, and the conclusion is that you are completely wrong.
