What state is the best to move to for all 4 seasons, and no tornados or hurricanes?

Question

Right now I am in California and I want to move to a state that has all 4 Seasons...I am tired of hot winters, and no snow, I do not want to move to a big city, I want to live in a more county type setting with enough of a yard to have a dog and kids can play outside w/o fear of kidnapping, etc. Any ideas of where to start looking would be great!

Thank You all :)

If volcanoes and earthquakes are what you looking for, move up a few states to the Northwest or move out farther east near the Canadian Border around Montana, Idaho or the Dakota Regions for a taste of blizzards, whiteouts, snow ins and frostbite causing cold.

Washington and Oregon are the closest states to California I could think of, with Washington having the highest minimum wage in the nation.

As for the other states I have mention, I have seen them.
Plenty of space and snow one could see.

Depending on the area and state, and if you want to do it the old fashioned way and start from scratch, you could still homestead on some land for pennies on the dollar.

Do your research and find out what is needed to do this for each state.

Also, if you what to move to an area when nature doesn't rear her ugly head, or crime isn't a problem, move to outer space.

Plenty of room, almost all the free 'country' real estate you could handle, and plus no overcrowded cities.

Better yet, ask a higher deity to ascend you and your family to a higher, more peaceful, plane.

Fits what you asking for and in the long run, you be better off there.

Every place has its own natural disasters. Tornadoes are possible anywhere, given the right conditions, but I'd primarly say they occur in the midwest, and in the south. Anywhere where there is a chance for Thunderstorms.

Hurricanes occur anywhere near the ocean, but flash floods can be worse landside, even in as far as Ohio.

Earthquakes are along the San Andreas area, and the Mississippi River.

I recommend, perhaps Washington state. It's a temperate climate, though it can rain a lot. Or, if you want snow, then Vermont, Maine, or New Hampshire could be good. All could still be prone to tornadoes, but these states are less likely. There's really no one place that's a total safe haven, unfortunately.

Answer 4

Probably around New Jersey, New York, or Vermont.
You have easy access to a world city: New York, New York
They are too far north to be impacted by hurricanes as strongly
as warmer southern states. i.e Florida
Areas in VT and New York can be especially spacious.
Tornados are rarely ever seen, if they are they are relatively weak as cool air and warm air don't get a chance to mix too often.
Its far from any major fault lines unlike most of California.
Easy access to beaches.
A nice place to start would be Bergen County, NJ or Upstate NY

Answer 5

Northern Arizona (Flagstaff or Williams, especially), or nothern New Mexico.

Because of the altitude, the climate is a 4-season type, but none of the seasons are unbearable.

Flagstaff is my favorite place in the country.

Answer 6

i grew to become into amused to envision others' solutions, fairly those from Chicago, Texas, Michigan and Tennessee who claimed no tornadoes - why those places are virtually tornadic bulls eyes. actual, it truly is particularly no longer person-friendly to be no longer in a achievable twister area in case you're east of the Rockies (pass on your library and look at out the map of actual places of tornados over 50 years that grew to become into area of a "national Geogaphic" mag article a pair of years in the past). or maybe southern California and the southern US Rocky Mountain states have occasional twisters (like final week's outburst in New Mexico). yet actual killer twisters are purely some, usually restricted to areas of the plains, valuable mid-west, and southern states and a swath purely east of the Appalachians interior the mid-Atlantic states. additionally, nonetheless frightening (i've got witnessed 2 in my 60-ordinary years, one a killer), tornados actual hit very, very small land areas, many times a line decrease than a hundred yards in diameter. (and additionally they are over with many times in decrease than 30 seconds). So, of others' solutions so far i'd accept as true with the Willamette Valley, Spokane and interior sight Idaho, Anchorage. i'd upload metro Salt Lake city and a few front variety cities interior a hundred miles of Denver, and Tacoma as achievable western venues. in case you're prepared to settle for the as quickly as in ten years twister warning, Pimpster's suggestion of northwestern Vermont won't be in a position to be beat (the section actual has 2 considerable airports, Burlington Intl and Montreal, and quickly would have 3 with this summer time's beginning of Plattsburgh Intl). it truly is the place you will truly have 4 seasons (all Californians who pass to New England remark upon that); different areas in that area of the rustic that attitude NW VT in fulfilling surprisingly much all your parameters would be southwestern Maine and the interior sight portion of recent Hampshire (comfortably located between the valuable New England hurricane music and the Gulf of Maine to Nova Scotia hurricane music, however the wintry climate nor'easter storms are at times ferocious) and metro-Albany-Schenedctady-Troy, ny which comprise the interior sight western Berkshires. The Blue Ridge section northwest of Philadelphia would additionally. have you ever for some reason rejected the seen purely moving up I-eighty to the northern, northwestern or northeastern extremities of Sacramento, or to Reno?
