Sorry;l I should have been more specific. I prefer somewhere in Canada. It is impossible to move to the USA, since you can't legally work for 3 years unless you have a sponsor.
I can forgive some snow, so long as it doesn't get colder than -15.

I was born and raised on P.E.I., have lived and worked in every province except Newfoundland,been there a couple times. Worked out of Edmonton for 17 years. If you are looking for the best, safest place to live in Canada with the littlest amount of snow, then you really only have 3 or 4 choices. Vancouver gets least snow, more crime. Okanagan valley in B.C. gets some but not a whole lot of snow, expensive, not a lot of work. Niagara area of Southern Ontario gets snow but is next in terms of temperature in winter. Lots of work, lots of people, smog, traffic, crime. Next best places are in the Maritimes where work in areas can be at a premium. Winters are okay most years, P.E.I. Southeastern New Brunswick have great spring, summer and falls. I have lived in each of those areas and now live 10 minutes from the water in a small town in New Brunswick. Boys are fluently bilingual, wife works 10 minute commute. After Calgary, anywhere else in Canada will look good(kidding..GO OILERS) but if you love the mountains, check the Okanagan in B.C. Good luck..
For affordable housing, go to MLS.ca, click on the province and then area for a sense of home costs. Vancouver is most expensive, Okanagan can be as well, Moncton, Shediac area along coast of N.B. you can find a nice home with a couple acres of land for $100,000or slightly above. P.E.I. just slightly higher.

Well, the obvious answer is the southwest corner of B.C. ...
Of course, Vancouver area has a reputation for being expensive, but there are smaller towns on the outskirts of the Greater Vancouver area that are less so. Like Aldergrove, Abbotsford, Chilliwac. Hope .. out far enough to be less populated and less expensive but close enough to still easily go to the city for activities.
On Vancouver Island there are cool places too, I don't know them by name, sorry ... the disadvantage is the cost and wait time for ferry's to come to the mainland.
