I "was" going to say 4 equal seasons, but I don't like summer. So I'd rather give some more months to fall and spring.

I'd have 3 months winter (Nov-Feb) cold, snow, clear sunny days with some occasional warm spurts to about 60°F, but nights always below freezing(10-30°F.

Spring (Mar-Jun) 4 months. Occasional snow through may, but quickly melting and lows more 30s and 40s with nothing more than 80°F.

Summer 1 month (July). High 80s with some 90s, NEVER 100 degrees. Nights upper 50s with some lower 60s.

Fall 4 months (Aug-Nov). August and September more cooler with 70s and nights in 40s, no snow yet. October some snow, fall colors and nights in the 30s, but not below freezing.

4 unequal seasons. Summer is the longest season
Winter (highs in the 40s, lows just below the freezing point): about 2 months long: Dec- Jan
Spring/Fall: each about 2 months long : mid Feb to mid April and Oct to early Dec
Summer (lows in the 60s, highs in the low 80s): 5 months long : early May to late Sept

The climates I like best are often referred to as "eternal spring" -- highs in the 70s, lows in the 60s.

Two months of Winter-highs in the 40s, lows in the teens, middling amount of snow.

Two months of Spring-high of 70, lows in the 40s, some rain.

One month of Summer-high of 90, lows in the 60s, plenty of rain but no thunder storms.

Seven months of Fall-high of 60, lows in the upper 30s with overcast skies and some nice "farmer's rain"during the day.

Any suggestions where this might be?

Winter would be 5 months, Spring would be 2 months, Summer would be 3 months and Autumn (fall) would be 2 months.

+1

Too bad I can't change my answer. 80 F is warmer than ideal, but I certainly won't complain about it during the summer, provided that humidity is tolerable.

1-2 weeks sometime during July: summer
