There is ranges but how I personally define 'four seasons' is this:
Winter months must average out to get as cold as the mid 50Fs at least. That is still mild for me, since my winters are mid-upper 30Fs-ish on average. Otherwise it is just too warm/mild to be called 'winter.' The temps may cool down but that's about it. Even in Dallol winter is 98 degrees instead of 115ish lmao.
Also summers will be muggy/hot more uncomfortable than probably more temperate climates and about 5-10 degrees hotter - but the variation is more interesting to me than being comfortable with the weather all the time. I hear people from Florida/California complain about Michigan's weather all the time... but eh I'm just not too fond with nice weather 24/7 I guess I'm backwards. It seems like some people like to complain when weather isn't like perfect- but perfect is boring... like the teenage girl always wanting the jerk and not the nice boy. Hehe.
I think I'm being fair with this (but granted I realize just because I think I'm being fair and accurate doesn't mean I am) - but it is my own bias, because I mean to a lot of people- winter is the stereotypical image of lots of snow, ice, cold-ish weather but in reality a lot of places only get moderate snowfall or they get too much that it stops being fun.
Also the hours of sunlight is a huge factor- not just the temperature- but temp also plays a part into it. Its human nature to think of weather/seasons in only in terms of temperature, I have a bad habit of this as well....

If Turpan had more precipitation.. it would be the perfect classic 4 season climate that everyone would like. Heck this is one continental climate I don't even hate all that much.
What about KC? Colder than NYC in December and January, you can't tell me that's not a real winter
