Victorville has a very hot, dry summers with the occasional monsoon storms. Anderson's climate classification is a Cwa climate (Humid Subtropical) and Victorville's climate type is a Bwk climate (Cold Desert).

Victorville has no weather 99% of the year. I think I’d even prefer the SC humidity over the eternal nothingness that is CA climate (save Truckee/Tahoe).

I’d have to go with Anderson. The weather while nice in Victorville is too boring. Hardly any thunderstorms while Anderson gets alot of them throughout the year. Anderson also gets the occasional snowstorm while Victorville rarely does.

Anderson because I don't tolerate aridity.

Anyways both places have s*itty cold winters.
