Plenty of snow here, but it's not sunny here in the winter either.
You would like a winter like Minneapolis has. Some snow yet fairly sunny most of the time. I had cousins there and used to be amazed when we visited them in the winter because the sun was always out, lol.
Coming from Syracuse, I was under the impression back then that you didn't the sun from late October until mid-April
At least in the US alone, Denver has my favourite winter weather. Still too cloudy for me in Minneapolis.
Favorite: Uh this is difficult, but it is sunny most summers. You do get some cool days in the winter too.
Least favorite: BUGS! A climate like this has lots of them and the insect season some years can last nearly the entire year. Winters not really cold at all and snow accumulations happen every 20 years or so. The humidity levels here are sort of high and the worst summers can see temps above 100F/38C for more than a hand full of days with dewpoints above 65F to even above 70F! Also, some thunderstorms are too wild as I am not a fan of thunder at all.
Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention perhaps my least favorite aspect of this climate. The way too warm summer nights. Way too warm!

You have a very similar weather taste to me in dislikes, well said. For as someone who thought previously lived in North Carolina was already bad enough, I can't imagine how worse there in Texas. Do you prefer an overall cool climate year-round without no extreme cold?

I would like to live in a place that has cold and snowy winters. The summer can be warm to even hot during the day, but I would like to have low summers lows though. Although I would easily live in a place that is cool year round without getting too cold at all.

There's absolutely nothing that I dislike about the climate.

but I am kind of partial to the Snow Belt cities like Syracuse, Buffalo, etc.
