they don't have a decent search mechanism, so I slurped
all of their data into a database and built one.
My criteria was fairly simple:
I also factored in low wind, population, and a few other factors.
The winners:
An .html matrix of cities and values that may by of interest can be seen here. Most of the cities referenced are at higher elevations, thereby making the summer temperatures reasonable at the expense of some snow. 50 to 100 inches of snow in a year is acceptable to me.
