I would like to visit family who recently moved to Raleigh but need weather information from Jan to Dec I am hoping it does not get icy, snowy in December but have a hunch it can be that way.

MIKE MOSS SAYS:      Sandi,     It can indeed be icy or snowy in December, but in fact is a rather rare occurrence and we have on average relatively mild winter weather here. You can read a brief summary of Raleigh area climate at
