Wishing for (a little) snow

What is the weather like where you are now? Is it cold? Is it snowing? Is it sleeting? Are you longing for another season – one that is more bearable? Does your winter seem to drag on forever through November,  December, January, February and sometimes even March? There is something to be said for enjoying all four seasons, but preferably the most difficult ones don’t last for almost half the year!

In our neck of the woods  – southern coastal North Carolina - we definitely enjoy the four seasons – each for a perfectly comfortable amount of time! Our summers are warm, but cooled by the ocean breeze. Spring comes very early and lasts for an enjoyable few months. Fall is more a revisit of spring, with a few cooler days thrown in for variety.  Our short winters allow us to break out those wooly sweaters and give the flip flops a rest for a month or so(and sometimes we are even treated to some snow to satisfy our souls). Randomly, throughout fall and winter, we  even get a few warm beach days thrown in just to keep us happy!

 Here is a breakdown of our local temperature averages:

January 56

February  60

March  66

April   74

May  66

June 87

July  90

August 88

September  84

October  76

November  68

December  59

We have an average of at least 215 days of sunshine, which allows us to take full advantage of all the outdoor activities available throughout the entire year here on the coast. Golfing, tennis, gardening, beachcombing, enjoying an open air farmers market, boating, biking, paddle boarding and the newly popular “frisbee golf” are just a few of the ways we like to enjoy our many days of beautiful weather. It is no wonder North Carolina made it on the list of the Top 10 Best Weather States!
