Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

30°F to 50°F

Dec – Feb

Mild compared to northern cities, but occasional ice storms and light snow can make surfaces slippery. Keep paw wax handy for icy mornings, and have indoor activities planned for days when conditions are too hazardous for walks. Most winter days are comfortable enough for regular outdoor routines.

Spring

42°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Long, pleasant spring days are ideal for greenway walks and training sessions at local parks. Pollen counts are among the highest in the country during this season, so watch for allergy symptoms in your pet. The Bog Garden and greenway system are especially beautiful as everything blooms.

Summer

68°F to 90°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and humid conditions demand early morning or evening exercise schedules. Carry water on every walk and watch for signs of heat exhaustion, especially in flat-faced breeds. Afternoon thunderstorms are frequent, so plan indoor enrichment activities as a backup for stormy days.

Fall

45°F to 75°F

Sep – Nov

Comfortable temperatures and gorgeous Piedmont fall foliage make autumn a wonderful season for long walks. The greenway system is at its most scenic during leaf season. Tick activity remains high through October in the wooded areas, so continue prevention treatments.
