I can't actually find many climates in the USA that I like - no decent Cfb climates. Luckily the georaphy makes up for it.

The one common climate category that the United States lacks. The only one I know of is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boone,_North_Carolina, and even that is still fairly continental for an "oceanic" climate.

Yep, Boone has come to my attention before. Maybe just a tad too cold in winter, but I think it might be my pick, east of the Rockies.

Coastal WA (and I mean the Pacific coast, not Puget Sound) has Cfb, it's not truly Csb when your driest month sees 25-30mm of rain

I disagree when the driest month only has 13% of the precipitation of the wettest month. That's a pretty significant drying trend. (Forks, WA)
