Hello all, asking the age old question of where the family should head next. We have done a little east coast moving over the past few years and have decided it is time to move on once again. We have moved from Connecticut to Florida, a move back to the Northeast to Vermont, and eventually back to CT...with the intention of not staying permanently. Just had some family matters to take care of. Florida was MUCH to hot and humid, flat as can be, and the amount of people were endless. Vermont was beautiful, winters were long, days were cloudy, and living was expensive. CT is the pits. We are hoping to head to a rural area, in the country. We don't mind warm summers.....80's is fine....but keep the humidity away! As far as winters go....we do love snow....but not by the foot. Every once and a while for the kids is fine. High temps in the 40's in winter is survivable....again, keep the humidity away. I suffer from severe osteoarthritis, so 2 things make my life miserable, humidity and cold. I realize western areas of the U.S are more ideal to what we are looking for....but hoped to find someplace closer to avoid a costly move. Thanks for your input
What humidity levels are "intolerable" to you? There are areas of the east where they are lower, but no where outside of a desert climate is going to not have any.
Didn't see where he mentioned it had to be in the East?

That would seem to indicate wanting to find something more in the eastern half at least..
Maybe areas western NC, the Blue Ridge Mountain portion of Upstate SC, eastern TN, western VA and maybe Greenbrier County WV are some potential areas to look into.
If you're wanting to stay in the East, Asheville NC, Knoxville, TN, and Roanoke, VA areas are very nice and have great 4-season climates that aren't extreme. If you'd like to go out West, Albuquerque, NM or St. George, UT would be a good choices. Good luck!
Thanks for the responses. I know it would be almost impossible to find areas on the east coast, so I've almost given up on that. I've read post where others have mentioned the foothills of Tennessee and Western Arkansas as possibilities, but others have said the humidity is still unbearable at times. I have family in Louisville KY, and although I like Kentucky, the weather still doesn't work.
Maybe our only choice is NM, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming? Although I've heard some of those states can be brutally cold in the winter.
Try central Arizona, Showlow, Prescott, Payson, Chino Valley etc.
