I've heard many good things about NC but isn't it kinda "hicky" too??

Most of it is, yes.

But Asheville, by all account, is a haven of progressive thought, liberal politics, and a vibrant arts and music culture. And it's right up in the Smoky Mountains, which is one of the more beautiful places in the eastern half of the country.

What's Champ?

I assume it means Lake Champlain. Burlington, VT is a nice town.

I could imagine the Texas Panhandle getting snow, but would be very surprised if it got as cold there as it does in MN and ND in winter. I always look at satellite outlooks in wintertime and MN and ND with exceedingly rare exceptions is the coldest part of the lower 48.

history_of_psychiatry: while I personally enjoy Seattle very much, have you considered Oregon? My brother in Seattle tells me it doesn't rain as much in Portland, but still has a lot of forests and Mt. Hood nearby. I don't have much personal experience with Portland (only driving through it a few times), but ostensibly Seattle and Portland may be fairly similar. They're close to each other too.

I strongly recommend you take this quiz. It asks you detailed questions about your ideal place to live and gives you a list of cities/states which meet your criteria. Hope it helps! :)
