If someone forced me to pick a far-south US climate to live in...I would choose Boone. This would be second place. It's really basically KC with slightly better summers and slightly worse winters. Would you really consider Boone or Bristol "far south"? I was trying to avoid people going "Hey! West Virginia is southern!" because WV is in a totally different climate world. |

Yes, it's more than capable of doing so but it's not the norm. Tallahassee averages 30-33 freezes a year between late November and early March, about 1 in 3 days. Regions in southern GA and southern AL would average more. My experience of frosts is that they generally tend to come in waves. Maybe less so in Southern US. Here after all, they're more influenced by maritime patterns. |

C-. Very similar to my own climate, but higher winter averages (especially the highs) and not quite as much snow (13 inches average there compared to 22 inches for PHL). Not horrible, but not an improvement.

Winters in the Deep South are very variable and alternate between warm periods and cold snaps. Going more than 10 days without a freeze in Tallahassee in January would be something that's not normal. |

C+, I agree. One of the better climates in the eastern US, the diurnal ranges help it a lot.
