Thinking about moving to Hendersonville. How severe are the winters? How much snow can be expected?
I don't mind a little bit of it and I'm used to winter since I live now near the 43rd parallel, but I think I don't need the five months of winter and weeks on end of sub-freezing temperatures that I sometime experience in this northern climate. I can bring my snow shovel, but I'd be just as happy if I didn't have to use it.

Brought mine to Hendersonville 12 years ago, never used it. Wait until the sun comes out and most of the time it's melted by noon. My LL Bean snow boots are still standing in back of the closet -- just in case.
You will hear about the "blizzard of 93". They will never experience the unexaggerated five (5) feet of snow blizzard of 1978 in New England. So c'mon down.

Don't forget the 5' of snow in June 1992 at Pisgah Inn on the Blue Ridge Parkway. That came to a total shock of the visitors. The day before it was 70 degrees and the next day the people at the inn opened their doors to 60" of snow!

It can snow in Hendersonville as it does in Asheville. But it does melt by midday.
SC gets ice and we get snow. I prefer the snow. Raleigh gets more snow than we do.
It seems as Asheville is protected by the mountains from some serious snow storms.
The one in 1993 was a rarity. And I hope we never see it again. It created havoc all over WNC.
Last year when Boston had the blizzard in February, it was 52 F in Hendersonville. Winter is short, not cold (hardly any days do not reach 45F), and there is very little snow.

My wife and I are headed there sometime in April to try and secure a place..we cant wait.
Where do you live now? I'm from upstate NY myself, but I now live in California. It seems that half of NY has moved to North Carolina. I guess the weather is the main draw. Being a snowbird would be ideal, but can't do that from California. There are aspects of New York that cannot be duplicated anywhere else in the country. The scenery upstate is breathtaking, and for about 4 months out of the year it is heaven!

Thank God.
