New England has no decent climates outside of Hartford and the Connecticut-NYS border. It's better than Upstate NY strangely, but that's not saying much
Coastal PNW climates are better (Portland, Seattle, Vancouver). The inland PNW with very cold winters (Boise - I didn't know it was part of the PNW) is just as bad as New England.
Both NE and PNW regions has it's own charm, simply can't determine which is better overall.
I tend to prefer only the southern half of New England, anywhere north of Manchester, NH seems bit too cold for me when looking the annual avg temps.
Like Nei mentioned above they are relatively safe places to avoid frequent severe t-storm activities in the contiguous US.
People that think the PNW is constantly rainy and drizzly are clearly ignorant.
Summers in PNW are glorious. I spent a Summer there 2 summers ago and it was rainless, bright sunshine nearly everyday and beautifully mild between 75 and 80.
PNW
Milder/wetter winters, plus drier/milder summers(specially the lows) are all positives to me.
Oregon has the best climates in USA, in my opinion (Eugene, Salem)
