I have a endocrine disorder where i dont tolerate heat very well, and i also am a snow lover. Im 30 and from the Baltimore/DC area and winter, fall, and spring are great but june, july and august are miserable high humidity season, and i cant take it anymore, i also work outside a lot as an engineering auditor, which makes things worse. I was thinking of moving to boston, or minneapolis. i also thought of seattle but they dont get a lot of snow. does anyone know of any other cities with snowy winters, cool summers and diversity (i enjoy being around many different cultures)

How about Colorado or Utah?
Of the places you mentioned, Seattle is cooler than Boston or Minneapolis.
You won't find any big cities in the US with those criteria. Minneapolis, and Boston both get fairly hot and humid in the summer. Maybe Anchorage or Portland, ME. Northern Great Lakes and northern Rockies would fit well except, of course, big cities are few and far between there.
England would fit the bill if you wish to emigrate per chance. Plenty of "multiculture" especially around Birmingham/Manchester and the summers very cold.
Flagstaff in Arizona sits at 7200 feet. There ain't a whole lot of heat happening there and April-June is to die for. Low 50's for top end temperatures in April and upper 60's to low 70's for highs in June. Flag has about 66000 people according to the 2010 census and there is a large university there which would (somewhat) encourage diversity.
Bellingham in Washington has 85000, a large university, cool summers and a diverse population as well. The downside here is relatively little winter snow but Mt. Baker is 30 miles east and it can get 1000 inches during a good season.
Both places are very expensive to live in, primarily because they are desirable spots but if you like cool weather without the bone snapping chill of a Minneapolis or a Chicago (or even a NYC or Baltimore), a reasonably good shot at scoring the kind of work you do and a modicum of cultural variety, Flagstaff and Bellingham are two to check out.
Also, how cool are we talking here? Minneapolis and Boston both get some 90 degree days/70 degree nights in the summer, but overall summers are noticeably cooler than in the DC area. If you want anything cooler than those cities, you'll probably have to choose either snowy winters or diversity, as there are few places with all three (Anchorage being the only exception I can think of off the top of my head).
