Not just the snow. July on the northeast is just as miserable with high 90 temperatures and humidity combined. FWIW I grew up and spent about 30 years in Philly and know plenty of stately suburban neighborhoods (Haddonfield, Moorestown, Villanova, Gladwynne, Chestnut Hill, Penn Valley etc.). Not a top 3 city in the US (NYC, CHI and SF IMO) but certainly on par with the next tier down including Boston.
