What are the seasons like in Norfolk,VA?

Question

I'm getting stationed in Norfolk,Va and I am just wondering what the seasons there are like? Do the leaves change colors? Is there snow? Thank you!

Answer 1

Norfolk, Va is far enough north to still have distinct seasons.  Spring will come a bit earlier...and Autumn will come a bit later.    You will still get leaves that change color in late October.  The winter will be relatively short, as the closeness to the water moderates the temperatures a bit during the winter.  That means only about 8" of snow each winter on average...which means there could be winters with very little snowfall, but once in awhile they will get a decent snowstorm.  But average high temperatures in the winter are still near 50F.  The summer features a average high temperatures in the low-mid 80's, which means a good bit of heat and humidity.
