Default Re: Raleigh-Durham info please

It does get cold, but not like MA (highs in the 40s, lows in the 20s this week). I think Raleigh averages about 8 inches of snow a year, but freezing rain/nasty ice storms aren't uncommon. It isn't real cold in the winter, but there is a lot of rain and humidity.

Housing is probably cheap compared to MA. Right now and for many years, there have always been a lot of new housing developments being built. Depending where your job is, you may want to check out Cary, Morrisville, or Apex (if your job is in Research Triangle Park), or Wake Forest (Northeast of Raleigh) areas as all are basically connected to Raleigh.

Durham has nice areas, but also has more than its share of seedy areas.
