I think it depends how long is long. Consider if you’ve lived in Raleigh since the ‘60s, you’ve seen dozens of foot+ snows, and below zero temperatures. While declining in frequency, that is more akin to a Mid-Atlantic climate than a southern one.
I’ll be the first to say it this year. You can tell we’re ramping up on the sun angle front. Side streets in the sun have cleared rapidly, and major drip on the roof.
Kind of an odd thing to plant in Raleigh tbh
Not to create too much of an aside, but I do wonder if people moving down from the NE think this is a warmer climate than it is.
