I think you're misunderstanding just how north (cold) "humid continental" gets. For example, ALL of New Hampshire is humid continental. You could even argue that the coast is humid subtropical, but that line is usually put in southern New England. You have to go waaaaaaay the **** up in PQ befoe you hit anything that comes close to "sub-arctic".

I could be totally wrong and maybe you do like that weather, in which case I apologize for inferring. I just assumed you are saying you like the climate of where you live. But anywhere touched by the mighty Merrimack is most definitely Humid Continetal (and on the southern edge of that!)

hah, I'm the only one who voted dry continental.. whatever.
I like snow and cool winter and fall months without the very hot and sticky summers, I rather have dry and warm/hot summers.

Id have to go with San Diego (Mediterannean)... perfect temps year round. I do enjoy Arctic blasts and all, but my fave weather is 65-75 degrees, which San Diego offers pretty much year round.

I do like Midwestern weather for its variety though. We get EVERY type of weather imagineable.... Mediterannean, Arctic, temperate, and at times it can feel downright tropical, too.
