We moved to Greenville from NoCal/SF area. I don't wear a winter coat much more often than I wore one in SF. We usually get one snow, lasting a few hours, each a year that stays on the the ground for a few days. People take their snow very seriously here but even in a "snow heavy" year, it won't snow more than twice in a three month period. This past year we've had a lot of rain, compared to the previous draught years. Yes, we have a few freezes but most everything thaws by the afternoon. Ice storms can be dangerous but everything closes and most people stay off the roads.
My son wore long pants to high school maybe 20 days in 4 years. Rest of the time, shorts, tees and a sweatshirt.
Here's how Greenville has a true winter, unlike NoCal: the trees change colors and the trees are barren in the winter, so it has a winter "feel" but the winter is mild, most of the time.
