can we discuss the risk of bad storms/hurricanes in this area. Or are there not enough to worry about? this is our hesitancy with moving closer to a coastal area. any input would be appreciated.
how much snow/cold do you get in your winter months?

They happen but really bad ones are rare. The last really significant hurricane that came through here was Floyd back in 1999 which flooded everything near the Tar River. Now other Hurricanes came through like Irene and did some damage, but overall nothing huge like Floyd.
Snow happens one, maybe twice in winter. When it does most it would do would be maybe half a foot. it's there today and gone tomorrow. Be more worry about ice because when roads are icy everything closes.

Yeah, Floyd was terrible. I remember that like yesterday. I was living in Warsaw in Duplin County at the time. Whole yard was covered in water for almost a week. Fran in 1996 wasn't no picnic either, but Floyd was the worst.
Hurricane Dennis hit a few weeks earlier and really made Floyd worse, IMO. Rivers were already swollen from Dennis, and Floyd came in and added even more on.
Dennis even left NC and looked like it was heading out to sea, and turned around a couple of days later and hit NC again.
Eastern NC gets hit basically a handful of times every 15 years by a hurricane or some tropical storm. Obviously the threat is higher the farther east you go, but even cities in the western half of the state like Greensboro or Charlotte can get some rain and high winds from those storms.
It's always something to worry about and be prepared for every late summer/early fall, but they happen infrequently enough not to be in constant fear of having one come through.

Greenville, NC averages ~4 inches of snow per season (if this website is accurate). Though when I lived there, I think we got that much only one year out of 4.

A 6 inch snowfall would be quite an event.
