Default RE: Where?

Southern Virginia, all of North Carolina, northern South Carolina, nawth Gawga, all have a moderate climate year round. And the winds around here are usually moderate.

We seldom see snow but see ice maybe 2 to 4 times a year. Have relatively short winters where "real cold" is just under freezing, and have decently long Springs and Falls. Summer might get to you, but only a month or two seem real hot.

When I lived in Miami, the daily weather report was the same so often that they could have used one rubber stamp year round.

We could use about 10 rubber stamps for ours because the temps do vary some. And the winds are usually either "light and variable" or "5 to 10mph". Sometimes they say it'll be "10 to 15" but not often.

Back before I retired, the company transferred a bunch of people into here from up north. They also hired from all over the US. Almost all of those people came in kicking and screaming and most were pretty rude about how they considered their lives to be ruined. Darn near every one of 'em couldn't be pried loose with a crowbar now. Excellent quality of life. Good cost of living. Great flying weather. Only problem is there aren't too many locals left.
