I don't say there is a city with really crappy winter in this list.
A crappy winter for me is extremely cold (mean <-25°C and little sunshine), extremely wet (precipitation >200 mm) or warm winter (mean >10°C).
So, Denver has best winters, Seattle has worst winters.
I've been to Seattle in early March, I've seen some palms covered in wraps.
There are some palms that don't need wraps here. Chinese windmill palms are the most popular (I have two myself), but you can also grow sago palms, fan palms, Chilean wine palms, and a few others without wraps. In addition you can grow a couple kinds of Eucalyptus, Banana Trees (Musa bajoo), Agave, a few kinds of cacti, Tree Ferns (often require wraps in winter, depends on microclimate), New Zealand Flax, Dracaena indivisa, Succulent gardens, several kinds of Yucca, Monkey Puzzle, and more!
Seattle? That's basically 3 months of November... after November.
Seattle has similar oceanic conditions that much of western Europe and the UK experience in the winter. Little diurnal variations in temperature due to cloud cover, and little in the way of extreme cold.

Yep, I agree that Minneapolis has fabulous winters on this list, just to my liking. Aside from borderline subtropical Boston, all the humid continental cities (note: I do NOT mean subtropical New York) share the number 1 spot.

Seattle is too depressing.
Americans need to have a mentality like Canadians. Canadians embrace winter, because, well why wouldn't you? Being whiny won't make it any warmer lol.

I prefer the Lake Superior Snowbelt winter to the Twin Cities one. Twin Cities doesn't receive enough snow and the air is a bit too dry.
Denver has loads of sunshine + snow + warm temperatures.
Beats gloomy cool rainy Seattle winters for sure.
