Here are a few recommendations for a trip to Greensboro that I think would fit what you are looking for:
-Eat at the Iron Hen and take a walk thru Fisher Park. The restaurant is basically at the entrance to the neighborhood, its a neat eatery (particularly for brunch but good for all meals) and there may be some good homes in your price range.
-Take a walk around Guilford National Military Park, its about 10 minutes Northwest of downtown.
-Checkout Elsewhere on Elm Street, quirky art cooperative and stop into one of the breweries--Natty Greenes, Gibbs Hundred, and Preyer are all downtown and would make good stops. Or stop at Green Bean if you are more of a coffee drinker.
-You might also check out the Shops at Friendly Center and Sunset Hills for another neighborhood to look at houses
Quite frankly, Greensboro has a lot of sprawl as well as a lot of places of character.
Yes to all of this. Average annual snowfall for Winston-Salem is something like 9.3 inches over the last hundred years, and 7.5 inches over the last 30. I think a little less for Greensboro.
And yes, things tend to shut down during winter storms, but that's because we don't have the equipment to plow/salt/sand every street quickly enough to keep up. Usually warmer weather rolls in within a day or two and helps take care of a lot of that.
Which is not to say you can't find snow if you want it. Just an hour and a half west of the Triad, you get into mountains that get 35-50 inches a year.
Although this has greatly improved over the last twenty years. I think the state realized if we are going to be an economic player then the state can't shut down and wait for the snow to melt.
