Exclude Dwa, Dsa climates? Boston(Southern MA)/Providence(RI) are the closest to my taste. Extreme four season lover aspect, Chicago and Des Moines have a well-balanced temperatures in every month.

Slight edge to North America for more winter snowfall. I'd be annoyed by the heavy summer rainfall and the frequency of thunderstorms though, where especially drier parts of Ukraine and Russia have better summers.

North America bc of snow and storms. I'm used to some wetness in summer.

All of these are good except East Asia. Best is North America, more storms in summer, more winter sunshine than Europe. Central Asia: I don't know much about these climates but Almaty is promising. I like the drier weather in late summer and lower summer humidity but the spring wet season could be later to avoid overlap with the spring thaw. Almaty is only 43N with good sun hours. Europe is tied with Central Asia. East Asia is too humid in summer and too wet and cloudy overall. Talgar, Kazakhstan looks nice. Temperatures are really similar to southern Wisconsin but it's drier in summer and fall. And it has mountains! Does Central Asia get lots of storms, especially thunderstorms? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talgar#GeographyThere is probably a Dfa climate in Turkey, the climates have a similar precipitation pattern to Almaty. |

Yes Excluding Dwa and Dsa since those don't have balanced precipitation patterns, and to make the comparisons more simpler. |

I believe North America indeed has the best Dfa climates. The best one out of those is Toronto.

But the question is which one has the best dfa. |

I chose Dfa climate since they generally have 6 or more months with means above 10C. Dfb climates usually have 6 or less which means their winters are longer, and I think if one had to choose between a long winter and short summer or short winter and longer summer most would pick the latter. Also Dfb climates can get really cold such as Novosibirsk. It's much harder to find a Dfa climate that cold, there are Dwa climates that are as cold, but Dfa I don't think so. But then maybe that is why you prefer Dfb climates? anyway I voted for North America, they tend to be sunnier and it encompasses the largest area so there are more microclimates to choose from. |

This. They're very symmetrical, with an ideal annual mean of around 10°C. Incidentally, the best climates on Earth are precisely found between Chicago and Des Moines, centered around the Quad Cities area. The best bunch from the best climate classification, the crème de la crème. Iowa <3 |

Corn for breakfast, corn for lunch, corn for dinner, corn for dessert.
I'm only somewhat joking there. Iowa has tons of corn fields and so does Illinois, the other side of the Quad Cities. I live in the next state over and I haven't heard of anybody who loved Iowa or hated it. Just that it's a boring state with lots of farm fields. The few people I know who lived in Iowa for college liked it, they said the cities were small but nice. I can see some decent looking areas on street view, like this or this or that. Nothing impressive compared to major cities but there are no large cities in Iowa.
Also...if you're looking for cheap real estate, and don't mind living in a small boring town with nothing to do except drink in a corn field, rural Iowa is a good place to look. Here's a decent looking house for $40k (35k euro). 3bed/2bath, 125m2 plus basement, on a 1200m2 lot.

North America by far. Most variable and interesting climates, most storms, snowiest, etc. My thoughts exactly, and I would also throw in better sunshine hours as most of those other regions have a tendency to be overly gloomy in the winter for my liking. |

Shit that's cheap, about the price of a parking spot over here! As for Iowa, I have an infatuation for its climate, can't say I know much about the State itself.  I like being able to take weekend trips to interesting places, so the location isn't really appealing to me. That being said, Des Moines seems to have a sound economy and a decent QOL overall. The kinda place where you can see yourself raising a family. |

Houses in Lone Rock, Iowa are really cheap because there is nothing nearby except farms. The citiesYou can drive from Des Moines to a few major cities for a weekend trip, but nothing is close by. Chicago is 5-6 hours away, Kansas City 3, Minneapolis 4. I have not spent much time in Des Moines but your idea fits with what I've heard about the place...and a lot of Midwest cities actually. At least the ones with good economies.
