Muslim12 is actually 12, evidenced by his username and immaturity.

Yes totally. A 12 year old. Your lonely, have no life, and are even more immature, evidenced by your psychotic views on humans, remember you saying you wanted your roommate to die once, you are very arrogant too, calling people dumb ,stupid etc. etc. I didn't even know this place existed at 12. Why so derogatory. Anyways this thread has totally derailed. So let's talk about what it's actually meant for.

I like the snowfall totals on these months, none of them went subzero either. Pretty good considering they are all among the top 5 coldest. The winter months that is.

I gave it a D. Temperatures were perfect but 50" of annual rainfall is way way to much for me. For me anyway 20" is enough to keep things somewhat green but not overcast all the time and depressing.

I live in the Triangle and I have to say the weather is OKAY I guess. I personally LOVE the summers here. As I said in another thread in this forum, I actually love the heat AND the humidity but I guess I'm "crazy" and "rare" to actually be fond of those conditions. Most of spring and fall is pretty comfortable for the most part, where daytime temps range from maybe the mid-60s to low 80's. Winter is sorta of a mixed bag here. I guess compared to Minneapolis, Montreal, Fargo, or even Boston or Cleveland, Raleigh or North Carolina as a whole may be relatively mild. However, you get arctic blasts quite often in NC and in the Carolinas in general. I mentioned in other posts of that unstable polar vortex we got in the northern hemisphere where you get unseasonably cold air that periodically drops FAR down south. When the polar vortex weakens over the North Pole, it unleashes low temps, the 1970's and 1980's was a great example of an era where this dynamic was quite extreme. In that decade, single digits was not very rare in East and Central NC at the time (it got below zero for a couple years in the 80's, which is unheard of now in the area). When the polar vortex is strong and stable, it sits over the North Pole and cold arctic blasts that plague the deep south gets much less frequent. However, we do have the Rockies at the west of US and that has a lot do with the manipulation of the jet stream.
