I voted cfb as that's what I have where I am so accustomed to it, but also would vote secondly, or even preferably, for csa or csb for warmer and less humid in the summer. A Mediterranean climate seems a more comfortable year round climate. Hmm, maybe I should move. :)
Did you move to the Vineyard or the Cape KRonn?  I thought suburban Boston was solidly humid continental?

That may be the weather type and summer here has its humid days, but we also have many warm, drier days.  Last summer though was very humid over long stretches, but that's not really the usual. Usually we get one to a few days of heavy humidity then it changes to cooler/drier.

Come to Toronto, where you can get the best of both worlds - way too hot in summer, way too cold in winter.

Perfect balance!  :D

Actually I would be alright with that. I like pronounced seasons. You do have a Fall and a Spring right? :hmm:

Central Coast California, Csb with foggy mornings and warm sunny afternoons is ideal for me.  Things stay green (other than open grasslands) because of the fog (lots of redwoods in the coastal mountains), it warms up most days, and it never gets too cold (but it does cool down every night).  Also, outside of rainy winter, it is not too humid.

Other than the fact that every other idiot wants to live here, and most of those are making way too much money in Silicon Valley, it is ideal for me.

We do - and they are the best seasons here, weather-wise. Fall is truly spectacular in southern Ontario (tourists come just to see the foliage colours), and spring is lovely. Only, they are short!

we also have pronounced seasons in Quebec.  There's winter, almost winter, something not really winter, close to winter.   :)

Every year or so, we alternate between very hot summers and extremely cold&rainy summers. That is so pronounced!

One thing I learned from the climate map descriptions: apparently Toronto sits in its own little climate zone bubble, one classification warmer than the surrounding bits of southern Ontario. You can actually see the difference if you drive north toward Barrie in the winter.

I went up to Barrie from Toronto in 1997. I don't recall any climate change, but I did have some terrible coffee there.

For having visited once in the spring, I thought Boston had a lovely climate.  I think I could get used to live there, if I had to move to a city.

The New England fall is amazing. I love it. The only problem is everybody who lives there is really gloomy because they know what is coming: the Red Sox offseason...er....winter.
