[QUOTE="witzend, post: 599998, member: 99"] It rains pretty hard in the summer, although we have only had one tropical storm since we've been here. We've gotten about 6 inches of rain over the weekend, and at 90 degrees it's a bit muggy. You'll want to stay inside where it's air-conditioned most of the day and get a screen porch so you can enjoy the evenings. The winter was very pleasant this year. Generally food prices seem pretty much the same if you shop at the lower end markets like Food Lion or Bi-Lo or Lowes (not the home improvement Lowes). If you go to someplace that has what we might be used to with a fresh baked bread section and bulk foods (New Seasons, Whole Foods, Zupans in the NW) you'll pay at least 30% more here. There [I]are[/I] a few Whole Foods here, but their stock is different. There are also a few Trader Joes. These are both very expensive. You just plain won't find a decent loaf of bread [I]anywhere[/I], and their sausages are [I]really greasy[/I] and bland. It is difficult to find the ingredients for foods I usually cook. [/QUOTE]
