I'm 3 hrs from the coast. Humidity is way worse up there. Right now it is the same temp here and in fall river. The humidity is 83% in FR and 65% here. I remember walking outside up there and felling like I just filled my lungs with steam, never had that happen once in 3 yrs here. The snakes and I have an understanding.
Sure chiggers suck but if you stay away from the blackberry bushes when they are fruiting you're fine. Motorcycle riding weather runs from march to or through dec depending on the year. It only get cold here for jan and feb. Even then it only gets so cold. SC has the longest hunting season of any of the states. At least 2 gun shoes a month every month in SC and plenty more in NC. There are tons of jobs here. There are way more reasons to move here than there are to not. I've never been happier.
Hell the cost of living difference is huge. The wife and I went from living paycheck to paycheck to solidly middle class. Now we live out in the country w/ much nicer cars, several grand in the bank at all times. Our one utility is electricity. It runs everything from the well pump to the central air and the bill never breaks $200/mo. Ever. Hell we have so much disposable money now that I'm flying one of my friends down for a week and I'm buying guns like they are going out of style.
