Make sure you give four votes like previously For me Charleston and DC are shoe-ins, but the others are a bit trickier. Ultimately I'll go with Bridgeport for the more moderate summers than elsewhere and for Portland since snow sticks well there while highs are still close to freezing and summers can be managed AC-free and be enjoyed outdoors. I'm not a fan of 1-4°C winters anyway, and at least Portland comes pretty darn close to my dream summer!

By metro / urban area Hartford is the largest in Connecticut, and it's a bit more different climate-wise from most cities here since it's a bit inland.
Shows how small Northeast US states are; Manchester to Providence would be barely larger than the LA metro area; at least by LA-Mex's definition. Both Providence and Manchester are about 45-50 miles from Boston. Bridgeport is 55 miles from NYC; Philadelphia 90 miles. While the western states seemed under sampled and felt like you're missing a lot of climates in other cities; here you have too many similar cities. Though you're kinda missing the interior, the biggest cities are all near the coast. Only have Vermont and West Virginia have inland cities cause they don't have coast.

Why West Virginia but not Virginia? Virginia in the Northeast just sounds wrong. West Virginia isn't really Northeast, but there isn't a good category for it. Though I won't even put Maryland in the Northeast category.

Though I won't even put Maryland in the Northeast category. Just looking at a map I would put Virginia in the NE and North Carolina in the SE.

Why West Virginia but not Virginia? Virginia will be included in the south later tonight. Had to draw the line somewhere

I think there should be a Mid-Atlantic category. Virginia being in the south sounds odd..
Boston, Burlington, Manchester (hahaha) and Portland.
Burlington is essentially my dream climate - I wonder if living in a climate like that may put me off? Hmmm I should pay a visit.

Bridgeport, Boston, New York City, Providence.
Hard to find a sweet spot between too much winter and too much summer!

Voted for Charleston (best one by far), Washington DC, Baltimore, and Philly. Surprised that Wilmington Delaware is so cold, I always assumed it had 6-7C winters or something, I always forget how close it is to Philadelphia lol

The elevation must help quite a bit and it must also be somewhat shielded from northerly blasts since those winter temps are very impressive for how far inland it is I'd actually give Charleston a C+ that borders on B- and I'm not a fan of the NE United States so that's a very good grade for it!

Bridgeport Providence Boston New York
Northeast edition took the most time to decide the four best climates.

Charleston, Wilmington, Newark, Philadelphia in that order.
Much worse climates and a harder decision than the west and Midwest.

Very tight at the top! Would need a few more votes to separate them a little bit

Surprised Burlington isn’t doing better; assumed it’d be the favorite for cold lovers. Instead Portland is doing much better.
