A lot of folks moved down to your part of the country because they don't 
like or can't deal with the cold. I suspect that they thought NC would 
be warmer than it actually is.

I saw just the reverse in San Francisco a few years ago - the locals 
were all decked out in name brand insulated parkas and ski jackets on a 
morning when the temperature was in the 50s (and looking at me, an NJ 
guy, because I was in shirtsleeves).
