If you mean the Appalachian Mountains that range through eastern America and Canada the answer, for the most part, is temperate- wet springs, hot summers, cool falls (wicked fall colors!), and wet/snowy, cold winters. Most settlements (where I'm from in Canada at least) are found in the valleys between the mountains, this means that the summers are slightly cooler and that the towns are more sheltered in the winter. The city of Fredericton, New Brunswick (Canada not New Jersey) is roughly half located on the side of one of the mountians...it can be really cold in the winter as the wind can be cold enough to bring the temperature down from -20 degrees C (the average low temp for winter) to -40 degrees C... because of the wind chill...not a nice thing to be out in, trust me. The radio actually warns students (it's a university town) that bare skin exposed for more than 5-10 min could get frostbite! Keep in mind though that this is usually only during the coldest week of January- usually winter in the mountains is really quite nice- and very pretty. One mountain outside of Sussex, New Brunswick is a really awsome ski hill called Poley Mountain.
