The good thing about walking in sleet and snow showers on May 15th is that it is not rain, so one's sweatshirt does not become soaked. However, to be walking in shorts and short sleeves one day then snow two days (or months!) later is just plain weird. It was a warm winter, and now the transition from that season to summer has stalled in late March and early April, so that the high today is 41*F after being 68*F on March 9th and 70*F on March 27th, then snow and highs of 28*F on the 3rd, 5th and 9th of April. In May it has been below 60*F for ten of the 15 days and will be below normal for at least 16 of the first 19 days of the month. Weird.
Passing though North Carolina on our way to Georgia in mid March and then again in early April, the spring seemed about two weeks advanced of Warren, and probably the winter there is a few weeks delayed. With hot but not oppressive summers like the deeper south, and warmer winters, I suspect that North Carolina offers a pleasant year round climate that offers changing seasons but not too much of any one thing. Politically I likely would disagree with many of my neighbors but that's not been unusual regardless of where I've lived.
