I can agree with that, though it might err a little too much on the cool side. IMHO, Minneapolis has the perfect "idyllic" four season climate with warm to hot and humid summer and cold winters with snow cover lasting all winter. That may be my cold bias talking though and many people would find Minneapolis winter dominating.
I agree, I find Minneapolis to be a fairly typical 4-season climate. Winters a little on the cold side. I prefer Des Moines, IA.
Volgograd is really nice too.
People who live on the northern fringe of 4-season climates cannot count on consistently hot summers or mild springs with flowers.
People on the southern fringe of 4-season climates cannot count on winter snow cover.
according to here,Southern Hemisphere dont have seasons.
Not the stereotypical ones, because of the lack of a large landmass between 50 °S and 60 °S. It switches from non-winter in Cape Town and Invercargill, to almost winter but no summer in Ushuaia, and winter year round in Antarctica. I'm sorry, I'd have liked a four season climate in the SH as well.

So,if SH dont have seasons,why exists native Deciduous trees in Southern South America ? they dont need to go dormant to survive the cold and snow?

Millions years ago, the continents were in a different position that what they are now, and, deciduous trees can be found in non-snowy cities as well. Vegetation is just a small part of the consequences of a climate, not everything. Deciduous trees don't mean that place gets the stereotypical four seasons.
Can a SH climate achieve something like this? Orenburg, Russia The answer is: no.
Places in SH have too small variation to be considered as stereotypical four season climates. They're either summer year round (tropics), summer/fall year round (Buenos Aires and Adelaide), fall year round (Ushuaia, Punta Arenas and Invercargill), or winter year round (Antarctica). There's nowhere in the SH that gets summers like Port Elizabeth and winters like Davis Station. In the Northern Hemisphere there are many, one example: Winnipeg.

I got it,i was kidding,i know that,no way to Southern Hemisphere to have cities like that in Northern Hemisphere,and the Deciduous trees of South America are restricted mostly to very Mild Summers and Cold/Snowy winters of the Mountains.
If you want go to somewhere with real winter in Southern Hemisphere,this place just would not have summer,the same thing is valid to real summer etc.

Exactly! The coldest city in the SH is RÃo Grande, Argentina, which has an average high of 2.9 °C and an average low of -2.6 °C in July. Reminds me of somewhere like New York City and Berlin. But even then, the average high in January is 16.2 °C. It looks like fall and spring year round using NH continental climate standards.
