What can you tell me about the fair state of North Carolina?|119491

May relocate.
How hot are the summers? How cold are the winters? Average cost of a home? I love Fall. Is it a long season there? Closest big city to the beach? General info is appreciated and needed.

Summers in NC are pretty hot and seem to last forever. Temperatures will start to increase around April (60s-70s, sometimes if it_s hot year then 80). The main summer months of May, June, July, August, and September are typically in the 80_s and 90_s, which can feel a lot worse if the humidity is high. October is usually a pretty temperate month in the 60s-70s and temperatures will gradually start to cool off as winter creeps in. If you are living towards the mountains though, temperatures are usually a bit cooler.

NC winters are generally pretty mild, especially if you do not live in the mountain areas. Highs are usually in the 40s and 50s. There isn_t usually much snow and actually ice is a bit more common. Unfortunately the state is not well equipped to handling inclement weather, so if you are used to roads being plowed and salted regularly, don_t expect it there. If snow or ice is anticipated, don_t expect to find bread or milk at the grocery stores.

Charlotte and Raleigh, NC_s two cities that I would call _big_ (well big for NC), are about the same distance to the coast. Both are nice cities.
