<p>Just to be clear on the weather difference. The same site that Brave Ulysses used also shows the average highs:</p>
<p>W-S vs. Philadelphia</p>
<p>Nov: 60 vs. 55
Dec: 51 vs. 44
Jan: 47 vs. 39
Feb: 52 vs. 42
Mar: 61 vs. 51</p>
<p>To put that in perspective, December, January and February in Philadelphia are all colder than the single coldest month (Janurary) in Winston Salem. But, yes, it gets cold when the sun goes down in North Carolina…</p>
