The coast of Nc is much milder than the mainland being cooler during the summer and warmer than the winter. Dont expect temperatures to fall below 10-20 degrees duirng an average winter, and snow is not too common. Bad Ice storms occur once every few years (maybe even every 15 years or more) with some frozen precipitation occuring, but not neccesarially evey winter. Northern protions are much mroe likely to get frozen preciptation than soutern locations, but both the north and southern coasts of north carolina get little wintery preciptation.
