Toronto and Montreal are nearly as cloudy as Seattle but we often experience extreme winter cold.
Chicago at least is not that cloudy a place because it's west of the Great Lakes, and being even further south helps a little too.

I wish Toronto had the Pacific influence
because we'd rarely get hard frosts and still get at least 90% of our average annual sunshine,
which is already only 40% annually.

*Perhaps the main difference is that most of the time we're overcast, we're dry, but dry overcast is about the same as wet overcast for depression, IMHO.

Same here. It's overcast really often here without rain, or a really tiny amount of rain.

If we're allowed to come up with totally unrealistic climates though, here's mine:

High: 75F year-round
Low: 65F year-round

Summer Solstice: Sunrise at 7:00 am, sunset at 9:00 pm (including DST).
Winter Solstice: Sunrise at 8:00 am, Sunset at 6:00 pm

Rains/Cloudy one day a week, to maintain air quality and plant life. Three of the other days are sunny, three partly cloudy.

I could live happily with a low of 60 and a high of 90, although I could always sacrafice higher temps for it to never go below 60. Cloudy occasionally would be nice, with moderate - low humidity.

Just so you know, your first ideal climate is a "Polar" climate since no months average over 65 for a high.

You're second climate... I don't even think Canada's sub-Arctic has a place with such radically short but warm(ish) summers. Why? Climates like Yellowkinfe or Whitehorse are not even close. But I could be wrong.

Unless you're thinking Alaskan rainforest, I don't think you could find a northern climate with that much summer rain.
There's a term to Canada's Arctic; frozen desert.

Toronto typically has muggy summer weather and even we average less than 4" of precip. in every month
and rainfall tends to increase as you go southwards.

*I understand this thread is dream climates that might be unreal;
I was just trying to help you locate your version of paradise.

It's still dry though with 1.5 inches in the summer months.
I don't think it's possible for a climate to be that cold and still have rain-forest like precip.
