I went to college for a couple of years in NC, Winston-Salem, and did summer theatre for four years in Manteo, NC, just across the Roanoke Sound from the Outer Banks. I loved it in NC back then. But that was ages ago. The winters were mild compared to the places I'd lived growing up, even the Washington, D.C. area. The spring, I recall, was long and lovely.
I remember NYC and eastern Long Island (where we lived for five years in the '90's) as very cold in the winter, but with a lovely spring and fall. Perhaps south Jersey is much more temperate, though. I hear you about the short growing season and lack of sunlight for many months in a row up here in north. Bleh.
ETA: I meant to ask where you lived in North Carolina. It's a state with a lot of variety from region to region.
