I like 4 seasons. I like snow but hate ice as it gets old driving in it and for work I drive A LOT.
I love the spring and fall, but I don't really care much for the summer.
Basically what Im saying is, I want somewhere with EXTENDED fall and spring temps (these temps could range from mid 50's to 80's as an example), minimal amount of 90+ days in the summer, and a winter that gets snow but I won't feel like I am stuck in the house day after day due to Ice.
Can ANYONE HELP ME!!!
Is anywhere in Michigan, Pennsylvania or New York anything close to this? By New York, I mean the western areas like Buffalo. Or would I be looking at areas such as West Virginia, lower Ohio, Kentucky?
Coastal areas of the Pacific NW would most closely resemble the kind of area you desire.
Some areas of central Indiana, southwestern PA and SE Ohio might also come close.

I am really trying to avoid going out west as East is much closer to my family and my wife's family.

That sounds almost exactly like the year we are having so far in Indianapolis. Not saying it is typical, but it has only been above 90 degrees twice this year, and I have only felt like the ice was keeping me inside once (back in December, on a Saturday). Of course, last year it got above 90 degrees 30 times, which was way above average. I think an average summer around here only contains about 10 days of 90 degree heat.
Perhaps Wisconsin, might be what your looking for. Sheboygan, Sturgeon Bay, Oshkosh would all be areas to keep in mind. I would assume the Madison area is nice also.
Chicagoland would be a good choice for you. Lower OH and KY will be too warm for you. Chicagoland averages 18 days only with temps above 90 degrees. I believe we only had 6 this year. Most of the summer is about as pleasant as it gets. Spring and fall are cool, but pleasant 50-70 on average, with some days in the 40s and some days in the 80s. Winters can see some good amounts of snow (around 36" on average), but not much ice. We did have an ice storm last year early on, but the roads were perfectly fine for the commute the next morning. IDOT does a great job on keeping the roads clear.
Rutherford NC, is in an isothermic envelope. I know you don't know what that is.
It means it has 4 exact mild seasons. Its a beautiful place to live and cheap.

I grew up outside of Chicago so that might be why Im having the urge for that type of climate again. Thanks.
