South Lake Tahoe is first for me by a considerable distance, it is better than most of the eastern United States at that. It even gets a lot of sun, even when compared to the annual average in the US.

1. South Lake Tahoe: A
2. Boston: B-/C+
3. Helsinki: C
4. St. Louis: C-/D+
5. Turpan: D (Insane range!)
6. Yakutsk: F+ (The summers look very nice but those winters are brutal!)

100. Yakutsk .

Turpan and Yakutsk are the only ones I wouldn't want to live in, they are way too extreme.

None are very good but

1. St. Louis (very close as its too rainy, and has too much humid heat, and too cloudy)
2. Turpan (too dry and snowless even for me, also too hot and summer)

3. Boston


4. Lake Tahoe (poor choice for western us, awful Mediterranean climate)




5. Helsinki








6. Yakutsk

Pretty much a toss-up between the top 2. Very poor choices for the us, anything between St. Louis and Lake Tahoe should have won easily.

South Lake Tahoe comes first. Don't really care about the rest.

St Louis is the best, then I'm not sure. Yakutsk is extreme but interesting, summers there must be bizarre.

Boston... but would actually rather live in Toronto which is a better four-season climate IMO

Since I live in Scandinavia, albeit in south-east-ish Sweden I fully understand the premises of the Helsinki climate. However, our climate is better, albeit still hard to live in. Daylight is also an issue on these latitudes. It is in general a bit milder where I live than in Helsinki, so it's the second best after Toronto. I don't really like cold or intense heat.
