Snows anywhere from 5 to 15 inches every winter.
Starts snowing no earlier than mid Oct (Nov would be even better),
and stops snowing no later than mid April/May (March would be better too).
60(lows) to 80(highs) degrees in summer.
10(lows) to 35(highs) in winter.
I would prefer to live in a small, quaint, town around 10,000 ppl. I can go smaller than that, but 20,000 is probably the biggest i would want to go.
I would want to be about 20 miles to the nearest BIG city (40,000 or above).
For now, I am only looking at the western US.
Please help me find my dream place to live. I know it is out there somewhere.
First, is that i LOVE the rain, but i don't want to live somewhere where it rains ALL the time.
Also, jobs and houses are not a concern at the moment. However, college is. I still have a couple years to go, so i need to live somewhere with access to a decent college.
Well based on your criteria I would suggest Blair or Seward in Nebraska and Glenwood in Iowa. All are under 10,000 people but close to cities with Blair and Glenwood being close to Omaha metro and Seward to Lincoln. Blair and Seward actually have small private colleges and Lincoln and Omaha have universitys. Can get a little hotter and little more snow than you asked but close. I would also suggest Kearney, Ne. It is bigger than you want (near 30,000) but it doesn't feel large and it has a university in town.

Western Washington?

Eastern Washington gets more sun than Western Washington.
The Seattle metro has a reputation for being always-cloudy, but the Spokane metro could work fine.
