Boston. Maybe New York. I don't mind Boston's winter, I think DC and B'more have summers that are too hot/muggy, and Boston is awesome in the fall. DC's spring beats Boston's, but I don't dislike Boston's.
San Francisco gets points for being very mild year-round and it does have a lot of micro climates nearby (you can be in the 70 or 80s, or in the 30s within three hours depending on where you're heading). September and October in San Francisco are beautiful.
I don't know about the other seasons, but a city that shuts down from an inch or two of snow doesn't have a real winter.
We do not exactly shut down from that. Every market makes a big deal about winter storms and hypes them up to the heavens, even Boston, yes you get nor'easters.
Denver and Atlanta seem to have the most balanced seasons out of all those cities.
Denver's winters can be brutally cold, but are often interspersed with very mild weather. Spring and fall are often a mix of cool and warm and summers are hot.
Atlanta's winters are cool by southern standards (low 50s during the day and around 30 at night) with warm spells in the 60s and 70s that can last for weeks at a time. Spring and fall are always temperate and lengthy. Summer is hot, but by southern standards is extremely mild. It rarely hits 100 in Atlanta and rarely, if ever, stays over 80 at night. It is the humidity that make summers uncomfortable there.

I'm sorry, but where do you get the idea that 50s, let alone 60s and 70s constitute a true winter? Winter by calendar does jot mean a fourth season. What you've described is called Fall in places that have a climatic winter.

50s-70s are not uncommon in winter for a good chunk of this country. It can and has gotten into the 70s in Denver even in the dead of January. Since when is it a fact that winter has to be Minnesota-type of cold to classify a "true" winter?
