I was born,raised, and now totally sick of coastal Georgia.I think I never left before because my Dad was here.But now he is gone and I really would like to move someplace totally different.Both my wife and I want to move where there is at least more than 2 seasons and especially where it snows at least a little bit.We have 2 children-ages 13 and 2 and my wife will be graduating from LPN school in July so we have been starting to research places to move to.We both would love a place near mountains but are not sure where we want to go.Of course we need good schools for the kids and someplace near for her to work as a nurse.But where?At first I thought about Fort Collins,Colorado(maybe too much snow?) or Knoxville,Tennessee(maybe not enough snow?).Can anyone help? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If you want some snow but not too much and you want all 4 seasons, then how about Nebraska? That might suprise alot of folks, but one of its towns was named the 6th best place in the nation to live by CNN/Money magazine in 2007 and it is consistently ranked high in overall cost of living.
If you want more information or thoughts on that specifically, I'd suggest posing your question on the Nebraska City-Data forum - its a very active forum with a lot of perspectives.
In fact, here is a great discussion thread from a lady that lives in California someone pointed her to Nebraska. Its a 4-page very recent discussion on alot of aspects for her to think about: "Looking to move to Nebraska"

I would suggest central or northern missouri, they definitely get all 4 seasons and snow in the winter but not TOO much, though i dont know about the style of living.
Ya. If you want a city or near one St. Louis or Kansas City would probably meet your weather needs. I think KC gets a little more snow than St. Louis, but both get altogether about a foot-and-a-half a year I think. St. Louis is supposed to get 8 inches tonight.
I agree with Dave1215, Nebraska gets a pretty even distrubution of the 4-seasons... If you don't find what you're looking for there, there's always Iowa. (where I live) DM me if you want some information! Good luck!!
Does Albuquerque have four seasons? I guess I ignorantly always pictured it warm all year long. But I guess it could be like SLC and get snow too....
Maybe I need to get out more...

Light 4 seasons, actually. It has a warm spring, but dont expect it to be like out east where everything gets green and tons of variety of flowers bloom. Summers are definitely warm and dry, very hot at times. Falls are cooler and nice, actually with some changing colors on some trees, but once again nothing like out east. Winters are cold, dang cold, at night. Daytimes are decent enough I guess for a lighter jacket. Snow is common in the area, but it doesnt last very long. IOW, ABQ does have 4 mild seasons.

I don't blame you for wanting to leave GA. I live near Atlanta and I can't wait to leave. If you don't mind cloudy weather, Seattle could be a good place. It's near the mountains and it's beautiful out there IMHO. I should know. I used to live there. Denver could be a good fit for you as well.
