Minneapolis St Paul, with the Holidazzle, the Macy's top floor show, the Winter Carnival, the constant snow cover, and the fact that both downtowns are decked out in Christmas lights.
Plus, the Mall of America is awesome during the holidays.
Something about Seattle which makes winter weather different. Cities like Chicago, New York, Boston, see snow every year, to the point where it's just an inconvenience. But when it snows in Seattle, everything stops, life in the city is put on a pause, everyone just enjoys the experience, gathers together with family, drink hot cocoa, and coffee, and cross their fingers that the power doesn't go out. Snow days in the Seattle area have always been some of my fondest and most cherished memories. You can just look around and look at the beauty all around.
Snow can absolutely be nice (especially at Christmas which seems like it only happen once evey few years here), but too much is never good. When 10 plus inches fall it can be a pain and when 20+ inches fall it can stop a city in its tracks for a day or so
The NE does not get as much snowfall as many places but can get some pretty nasty Noreasters which can drop 20+ inches in 12-24 hours, not so fun, well at the least the after effects
This is not fun, at least when you finally have to stop enjoying it and deal with it

Upstate NY isnt in the Northeast?
Most cities average 70-100"+.
Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Albany. Those numbers are with or without Noreasters mind you.
Which basically proves the point I made in another thread about worst weather between Midwest/Northeast.
Everyone thinks Midwest automatically because they only think of the Northeast Corridor cities, but Upstate NY and Upper New England are also included, and they get much worse weather.
The Midwest typically runs away with it, yet it gets the same winters the upper Northeast does, but with less snowfall.
