I am interested in living to a city with short comfortable summers and long, cold, snowy winters. Though it might seem like I am crazy, I just want to get rid of where I currently live, 120+ degree summers and can get to 95° at any month. Please, I need to before the summer starts. I don't wanna die of heat stroke for the fifth time.

The laundrybasket wanter snowy cold winters, so Oslo and Stockholm would disappoint. Unless he settled in the higher elevations of the hills around Oslo.

Every time I've been to Oslo in the winter, there has been snow on the ground at the airport. Oslo Airport is 40 km inland and at 202 m ASL, and is indeed much snowier and 3C colder than the city of Oslo in winter. Oslo is located near a fjord.
A snowy town in Norway with summer highs almost the same as Oslo would be Kongsberg, inland and west of Oslo, at 160 m ASL. Winters more than 2C colder than Oslo. Kongsberg recorded 105 cm snow depth in March 2019. This last winter, even though the winter there were extremely warm, had snow lying on the ground from Nov 9th to March 17th, with up to 47 cm in December.
Oslo in recent decades has gotten 2C warmer in winter and no longer has reliable snow cover. Much better in the hills around the city.

I don't wanna die of heat stroke for the fifth time. Anchorage bro. The winters there are longer than anywhere in the lesser 48, unless we're talking Yellowstone or somewhere at elevation like that. Winter there lasts from mid-October to mid-April, roughly. Or if you want a smaller city that is even colder and has longer winters, try Fairbanks. |

Pretty much anywhere in the Great Lakes snow belt would fit your description. Think of cities like Syracuse, NY, Rochester, NY, Buffalo, NY, Erie, PA, anywhere in Michigan and northern Wisconsin, Duluth, MN; etc.
Depending on how cool you want your summer, high elevation towns in the Rockies fit your bill as well. Somewhere like Breckenridge, CO for example. Those places get quite cold at night though even in mid-summer, freezes happen every month of the year. So if you want any sort of growing season, those places aren't for you.
South-Central Alaska fits your bill as well if you don't want the extreme winters of the interior. Somewhere like Valdez, AK gets very, very snowy winters (some of the snowiest in the whole country) without bitter cold winters and gets nice summers as well.

Those are either mild or warm summers. |

Those are either mild or warm summers. Yeah those are warm summers. Was thinking of it more by Lower 48 standards. Those places do have long and snowy winters though. And 80/60 in the hottest summer month, like these places tend to have, isn't THAT bad if you hate hot weather, but you're right they're not really "cool" summers. I think somewhere in the Rockies would be a nice climate for the OP, if he doesn't care about summer frosts. |
