Our family recently visited the Cary/Raleigh area and fell in love!! We are seriously thinking about relocating there next year. Just wondered about the weather! Are the winters very cold? Much snow? Do you ever get tornadoes in the spring? And do you get much impact from hurricanes? Thanks for any info!!
those seem pretty accurate as far as temepratures go. Snowfall can vary greatly every year. In January 2000, there was a freek storm and the Triangle area had 27 inches of snow fall OVERNIGHT (school was closed for 2 weeks). But this past year, there was 0 accumulation, just some fluries and light icing a couple of times. Usually, you get a couple decent snowfalls with accumulation of a few inches every winter.
Thanks so much for the temperature and snowfall info! Sounds like you get definite season changes, but not too extreme. (except for the 2000 snowfall!!) Thanks again!
Many of us NC natives joke that God blessed us with the nicest spring and fall weather in the country...but the Devil cursed us by making those two seasons so short you barely knew you had them.
Cary experienced some pretty seirous flooding in commercial areas last month when tropical storm Alberto dumped about 8 inches of rain in one day, but I don't think any residential property damage was reported.... Fran in 1996 was a differenst story though.... widespread home damage throughout wake county with that one.
To RaleighRob and I'minformed - Thanks to you both for all of your posts! Just one more question - Hurricane Fran in 1996 - was the damage from trees blowing down, etc., or from lots of flooding?
