Oh, you're moving south -- it'll be warm there.
THEY LIED.
Yes, it's warmer than Harrisburg PA (at this moment, 32F here vs 25F there, and generally 10-15F warmer), but there are drawbacks, mostly in human preparedness. There is enough salt currently spread on sidewalks and streets all through the Triad that walking around literally crunches. And yet, I know for a fact that there are households that park right along the street's edge of their driveways instead of in lovely covered garages (so glad we have a garage!) because they have no shovels. In fact, on the late-night news, the poor reporter who drew the "you're outdoors in the snow" short straw is saying that if you don't have an actual shovel, try a broom, or a dustpan. And if you don't have an ice scraper for your car, there's always a kitchen spatula.
