If you are a business owner or manager in Wilkes or Iredell County, NC, or somewhere in the surrounding area, you have chosen a great place in which to invest. Our foothills and piedmont communities are second-to-none in the state. We have industrious and innovative residents. For example, Wilkes County residents helped produced recognizable names and brands like Lowes Hardware, Lowes Foods, NASCAR, and the Carolina Mirror Company. Iredell County is now a hub for NASCAR and Lowes Hardware, and in both counties and throughout the surrounding area there are reputable small businesses, restaurants, trades, and artists making our area proud.
Do you want to make sure your family is safe? Of course, you do.
One of our most pressing concerns is the safety of the people about whom we care the most. We have been helping home and business owners in the foothills and piedmont of North Carolina protect what matters most for decades. In that time, we have heard many myths about home and property security.
Summer and early fall bring pleasant summer sunshine, warm temperatures, and an opportunity for families to spend a lot of quality time together. From Statesville to North Wilkesboro and Mount Airy, business often picks up with an influx of tourists and visitors. Though the piedmont, triad, and foothills are hours from the beach and ocean, we are no strangers to the effects of tropical storms and hurricanes.
In 2018, two systems impacted our area with wind and flooding rain, one from the Atlantic Ocean and one from the Gulf of Mexico. If a landfalling storm moves fast enough and retains its intensity, it can bring a variety of weather conditions to our area, including:
The Piedmont and Foothills of North Carolina are known for great weather, offering residents and visitors alike a chance to experience the beauty of all four seasons without the extreme temperatures found in other regions. The area's mild winters are especially appealing, with snowfall that is often light and infrequent, making outdoor activities possible year-round.
Summers, while warmer, are tempered by the elevation and geography of the region, providing a much-needed respite from the sweltering heat experienced by our neighbors down east. This climate encourages a lifestyle that is deeply connected to the outdoors, with hiking, gardening, and other outdoor activities being popular among the residents.
However, the one downside to our amazing weather is the potential for sweltering humidity. This humidity is not just a matter of discomfort; it plays a significant role in the area's ecosystem, contributing to the lush, verdant landscapes that make the region so attractive.
