Question: When does it start snowing in the city where the author of Dances on the Snow works?

<P0-S0> Written in 2005, Moscow, Rough Draft by Sergey Lukyanenko is a fantasy novel of the "parallel world" genre. <P0-S1> It was followed by "Final Draft". <SEP> <P1-S0> snow in north carolina is seen on a regular basis in the mountains. <P1-S1> north carolina averages 5 inches (130 mm) of snow a year. <P1-S2> however, this also varies greatly across the state. <P1-S3> along the coast, most areas register less than 2 inches (51 mm) per year while the state capital, raleigh averages 7.5 inches (190 mm). <P1-S4> farther west in the piedmont - triad, the average grows to approximately 9 inches (230 mm). <P1-S5> the charlotte area averages approximately 6.5 inches (170 mm). <P1-S6> the mountains in the west act as a barrier, preventing most snowstorms from entering the piedmont. <P1-S7> when snow does make it past the mountains, it is usually light and is seldom on the ground for more than two or three days. <P1-S8> however, several storms have dropped 18 inches (460 mm) or more of snow within normally warm areas. <P1-S9> the 1993 storm of the century that lasted from march 11 to march 15 affected locales from canada to central america, and brought a significant amount of snow to north carolina. <P1-S10> newfound gap received more than 36 inches (0.91 m) of snow with drifts more than 5 feet (1.5 m), while mount mitchell measured over 4 feet (1.2 m) of snow with drifts to 14 feet (4.3 m). <P1-S11> most of the northwestern part of the state received somewhere between 2 feet (0.61 m) an 3 feet (0.91 m) of snow. <SEP> <P2-S0> Snow cover (averaging 3 -- 5 months per year) is formed at the beginning of November and melts in beginning of April, but in recent years snow cover has lasted shorter than usual. <P2-S1> For example, in the winter of 2006 -- 2007 the snow cover did n't form until the end of January, and melted at the beginning of March; in 2007 -- 2008, the snow cover melted at the end of February, and in the 2008 -- 2009 winter, snow cover did n't form until the end of December, which is one month later than usual. <P2-S2> Yet in 2011 - 2012 it melted in the middle of April. <SEP> <P3-S0> annual precipitation is 40 inches (1,020 mm) which is fairly spread throughout the year. <P3-S1> owing to its proximity to the atlantic ocean and its location in south jersey, atlantic city receives less snow than a good portion of the rest of new jersey. <P3-S2> even at the airport, where low temperatures are often much lower than along the coast, snow averages only 16.5 inches (41.9 cm) each winter. <P3-S3> it is very common for rain to fall in atlantic city while the northern and western parts of the state are receiving snow. <SEP> <P4-S0> Dances on the Snow is a science fiction novel written by the Russian sci-fi and fantasy writer Sergey Lukyanenko. <P4-S1> Despite the fact that the novel was written later, it is considered to be an indirect prequel to the novel "Genome". <P4-S2> It takes place in the same fictional universe as "Genome", about one hundred years prior to the novel's time frame. <P4-S3> Unlike "Genome", "Dances on the Snow" hardly deals with the issue of genetic engineering but does touch on the issue of cloning. <P4-S4> However, the biggest focus is the problems of free choice and mind control.
