Seattle has changing leaves and many blooms during autumn and spring respectively. I feel that constitutes as 4 seasons.

Architecture would not factor highly into any of these options. However, if you place greatest priority on the natural beauty of the surrounding environment, you could not go wrong with Stanley, Idaho; Bozeman, Montana; Telluride, Aspen, or Ridgway, Colorado.

While tax rates are high, for $900,000, you can buy a very, very, very nice home in Upstate NY. Look into Skaneateles, Cazenovia, Clinton, Canandaigua, Geneva, Auburn(near the Lake), Lewiston, Youngstown, Sackets Harbor and others here: Upstate New York Real Estate

It snowed in Savannah Christmas 1989 and then a dusting in Feb. 2010.

I was there and it's more like "snows when the moon is blue."

Savannah is great for 2 seasons... summer and almost summer.
