I know Hendersonville, NC and Asheville can get mighty chilly and gloomy. What is your typical winter November - Feb? I'll investigate it more but just like opinion.
It seems that Greenville always runs about 5-10 degrees warmer than Asheville/Hendersonville. They tend to get more snow than Greenville...though last year they got very little. IMHO, it's chilly and gloomy here Nov-Feb....but I'm was in FL for 8 years prior...so my "chilly" is anything under 60....if it hits 50, I don't leave the house, lol.
Winters are psychotic around here.. GENERALLY.. The coldest months and the biggest chance for winter precipitation (which is more often ice storms than snow) are February and March..
That being said.. I believe it was 2 or 3 years ago we had a white Christmas? And 4 or 5 years ago we had that stretch in January that was a week straight of low temps in the teens and highs barely passing freezing.
Of course.. Often, if we DO get a snowstorm.. It's gone by noon because it will snow like crap overnight, then be 50 degrees the next day.
I think the average low in February, which in theory is the coldest month, probably hovers around the 33-36 degree mark or so. Average high in the high 40's to low 50's.
Usually 0-5 winter weather events per season, lasting 1-3 days. Usually ICE (everything closes, people stay home, hibernate), sometimes snow or sleet, sometimes just freezing rain.
Most winter days are just cold, sometimes windy. It can get gray and gloomy here as well. It's certainly no Ft Lauderdale in the winter. I used to love flying to Florida in the winter and get off the plane and its 70 degrees when back in the Carolinas it was 30-40 F.

Yes our December through March is your opposite. Blue crisp sky, 55-78 can't beat. However, I'm in it now, 90, 90% humidity and raining the last few days. ugh! July-Oct miserable here. Hot & humid!
I'll be a hibernator on those icy days. I've never driven in ice or snow!

Thanks everyone.
Greenville has 121 sunny days a year compared to 74 for Miami, on average. I don't know how that distributes throughout the year.
I wouldn't call Greenville especially gloomy in the winter. That tends to be up in the mountains.
Thought I saw on the news (local Wyff) the other night this winter is supposed to be harsh because of the jet stream the way it has been positioned (cold temps,more precip). Also the Farmers Almanac predicted a rough winter too this year.
