PA Compared to NC
Pennsylvania and North Carolina are two states on the east side of the United States. Though they are apart in miles, they have many similarities, yet some differences. My mother and I had a chance to stay with my aunt in Hershey a few years back. As her and my mother discussed the "good old days", I could not help but take note as to the things that are similar and different here and in Pennsylvania. The first and most obvious difference is the weather. In Pennsylvania, the weather there is, for the most part cold, and at the very least, cool. One of the most well known sayings about the weather there is that there are two seasons, "winter and road construction". Now, as funny as that sounds, it is not that far from the truth. In the summer time, it can usually be expected to reach about seventy-five to eighty degrees and the people there think that it is the end of the world. They think it is just too hot and muggy, which for someone who are not used to really hot weather, it would be. In the fall, there is a period of time (about one month), where the leaves turn color and the temperature reaches what they consider normal (fifty to sixty degrees). That only lasts for about a month until the weather take
s a drastic turn straight down hill and drops to freezing or maybe a little higher. This season can be expected to last anywhere from four to five months. Here at Charlotte, there is Carowinds, Heritage Island Water Park, also in Charlotte, and in both states, there are tons of places to go watch a movie, and play a family game of putt-putt mini golf. The prices are much higher here than they are in Pennsylvania, and that is simply because property value is higher. North Carolina and Pennsylvania both have the same type of entertainment and just basically, anything that was wanted to do in Pennsylvania, could be done in North Carolina as well. No matter which state it is in though, road rage has got to be the number one cause of problems on the road when it is not snowing or something like that. As bad as the weather can get, the driving conditions cannot get much better. When driving down the road in Pennsylvania, if a person decides to crawl up the bumper of someone else's car, it can be rest assured that brake lights will go flying on, jesters will be made, telling them they are number one and accidents will be caused because someone got mad and did not like being pushed around and they want to get back at them. Its amazing how two states so different in some aspects can be so much like each other as well. Both states have a lot of history behind them and can be seen no matter where it is you go. Winter lasts a grand total of about six months. Disappointment will not be among the feelings while being there or here. The only big difference in price is on houses, apartments, and condos. Both North Carolina and Pennsylvania are two states that possess beauty.
