Looks nice. Thing is, look at this Long Island NY streetview from Jan 2013 and all the greenery. And remember, we don't have that warm season grass up here for the most part.
Can you honestly say that your streetviews and this streetview look substantially different in winter? I see loads of deciduous trees in your streetviews and this one. Given the difference in latitude and avg winter temps, wouldn't you think you would be far more green and alive looking in winter?
In terms of greeness yes. In terms of whats growing no, but overall look similiar. guess then my problem is im underestimating northern greenery, doubt places just a bit inland look like that though.

Judge for yourself how green. Seriously, when temps are not well below avg for a week or more, above is what it looks like. With ice and snow not so much. But we avg only 15 days year with 1" or more of snow cover. Of course, some years much more, and other years almost none. Again, this is due to instability in winter.

Lol what? Houston is a significantly better climate than Dallas. Much higher record lows, more precipitation, comfier lows year round, milder summers, etc. Dallas has winter nights that are way too chilly. Houston actually seems like an amazing climate from September to June, it's just that the summers are really bad
Yes, the summers in Houston are really bad. You're right about that.

And yet the summers in most of the state are much worse, unfortunately. Only the Golden Triangle, as well as the areas of Galveston Bay/Brazoria county have better summers than Houston.

Overall Raleigh is about same as cape may, difference between cape may, raleigh, and Philadelphia is not extreme though.
If I had to divide the east coast into tiers based on winter greenery starting from least to greatest, 1 would be new England, 2 would be inland Maryland, Philly, inland Virginia around the foothills and northern va near dc, tier 3 would be Delaware, coastal southern jersey, piedmont of NC, parts of the inland coastal plain in nc, inland SC, North Georgia. Tier 4 would be coastal plain SC and nc, inland southern Georgia, tier 5 is greenest and includes basically anywhere in NC, SC, Georgia, and North Florida that is around 20 to 30 miles from the ocean. I would keep going for Florida but that is a quick grouping of the East coast.
