No kidding. And my wife is from NC. I never hear the end of it.

The first yr I was here, it was May before the snow was totally out of the woods.
 
Condolences to your wife. I've lived in the northeast all my life and I'm sick of the snow

Spring summer and fall keep me here
 
Ive lived in 6 states..many of them in the South. I'll move back. Unfortunately i know what I'm missing. My family is keeping me in a holding pattern.
 
Lived first 30 years of my life in WNY...moved to Western Virginia, then to Western NC for work.
I don't miss the snow but do miss the people...and a beef of weck along with Weber's mustard on a Salen's hot dog.

Houghton County in Upper Michigan gets at least twice that much, and we've seen well over 300 inches several times.

We have lots of ice dams. Even insulated double roofs get them

On the flip side . . . Carolina BBQ, right?!
 
Mountains or the piedmont? lol
 
Curious what kind of accumulation you get from that snowfall usually?
 
We may get the snow, but it's a safe bet that come spring our homes will still be there!
Keep the hurricanes & tornadoes.

Don't say tornado. They can really strike anywhere.

True, but in the 60 years that I have lived here, you can count the tornadoes in our area and still have fingers left.
