Where in the U.S. will you find the most “pleasant” days in a year?

Neat.
I was looking back at my last few years of utility bills recently and noticed that May (Avg: 60F) and October (Avg: 62F) are apparently the only months of the year where I don't feel a need to heat or cool the house.
If this were adjustable I'd be looking for the place with the most 60° days per year.

Also, IMO your minimum temperature criterion is probably a mistake. Nobody cares that it's a little chilly at 4am, and meanwhile you're selecting for more humid climates (because those have less diurnal variation).
If you wanted to make the selection criteria user-adjustable, though, I'd be really interested to see the results. (Also, nice job on the visualization, discretizing every grid square to a town is particularly cute.)
