Seattle - too overcast, winters that are usually too warm for a good snow but too damp and chilly to make it enjoyable to be outside, and cold summers.
Anywhere where your make up melts off of your face the instant you walk outdoors, you break into a sweat just walking to your car, and you feel like you have a warm, moist towel over your nose and mouth for several months on end when you try to breathe normally. IOW, places that say, "But we have beautiful winters here!"
Average lows are above freezing from mid March to late November.
December through March are quite chilly to downright cold....but the rest of the year is fine outside of a few heat waves in the summer. I hate hate HATE hot weather, if Chicago had "super hot and unbearable" summers I wouldn't be within 400 miles. On average it's above 90 degrees around 18% of the days in the summer, and most of those are low 90's.
Maybe mid-summer highs around 80-85 degrees is hot and unbearable for people from Seattle, but most humans are fine with that.
