Whats the best city/state to live in that I can really enjoy all four seasons?

I live in Tx, but its too damn hot!!! I wanna relocate to a city that is not too hot in the summer but I can enjoy watching the leaves turn color in the fall and unlike here, actually have a cold winter with maybe even a little snow. I have been breaking my head doing research online. Any first hand suggestions?

    New England. We have all for seasons each basically 3 months long as the seasons go. Mass or Conn or RI have more cities then Maine, NH or Vt. You gotta love the cold and snow and heating cost to live here though. New England is about the only area where you actually get the full colors of fall with the reds,yellows, oranges and everything in between. The full colors only last for 2-3 weeks max but the do start changing in late Mid to late Sept and continue into Oct. The further north you are the earlier the colors change. You ought to come for a vacation before you up and move here. Totally different way of life then the city. And the summers are actually not real hot. We have our heat waves anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks but come later Aug the days and nights cool down to the 60-70's.It is hard to predict the weather here. That is why we have always said wait a day and the weather will change. Unpredictable.

    Western New York. Our summers are hot [high 80's], our winters are cold [just below 20 at the lowest], and the fall brings spectacular colours with the foliage, while the spring is often rainy and always green. The region is right between two Great Lakes, which explains the diverse weather [including the snow].

    The snow's not that bad, despite everything about the October Storm of 2006, and the Blizzard of '77. Those are rare occurances, and even so, I'd like to think we took care of these situations very well. There's always something to do here; the summer brings in food festivals, the very great Thursday At The Square music events that bring popular artists to Niagara Square in Buffalo every Thursday at no cost to concert-goers. The fall brings in the hockey and [American] football. The winter continues the hockey, but the ski resorts open up and are fantastic! In spring, the garden shows and music festivals start up again!

    I highly encourage you to at least visit Western New York!

    Well, it really depends on what you are looking for as a whole. Indianapolis and Chicago are great cities to live in, and you will for sure experience all four seasons. However, it does get hot and humid in the summer in both places. Fall is beautiful in both, and both cities have lots of small towns close by that are great for visiting in the spring and fall to enjoy the seasons.

    Seattle is nice, but has a milder climate. It is not so hot in the summer, and the winter gets cold, but usually not much snow. Though there is lots of snow in the surrounding areas. However, the leaves don't chage colors as much as there are more evergreen trees.

    High Point/Greensboro/Winston-Salem area in North Carolina is also a good choice. Fall is beautiful, and the winter is more mild than in Indy or Chicago. Summer is less humid, but there will still be some hot days, though not as bad as Texas (I lived in Houston for a while, so I know how bad Texas can get).

    Well, these are the cities that I have lived in, and enjoyed, though I am sure there are many others to choose from. I have also lived in the Detroit area, but the economy sucks there so I don't recommend it. It also is not as beautiful as Chicago or Indy. Cincinnati may also be another good option, as are Lexington KY, Richomond VA, Baltimore MD.

    Utah. Salt Lake City area. If you go to the St. George area it's really hot and seldom sees any snow. In the more northern part - which is close to SLC - You will have all four seasons to enjoy. The autumn leaves are just beautiful, the summers don't get too hot and the air is dry so you don't have that horrible humidity! Winters are nice and there are a lot of ski resorts close by.

    If you want all four seasons, in North America look between 39 and 42 degrees north. That's where most vineyards are because it doesn't get too cold in winter and too hot in summer.

    i live in Northern PA and it can get like 100 in the summer and -100 in the winter. (not really, more like -20 at MOST) but sometimes people complain that the weather is so unpredictable....they say if you don't like the weather, then wait 5 minutes lol.

  • California, Either Southern or northern...Maybe try San Francisco or Marin County...
