A lot of it depends on whether or not you "sleep cold".
On my last winter trip in NC ,conditions were about the same as you describe. I was comfortable with a one man
4 season tent (the Kelty Quartz) and a zero degree sleeping bag. I also slept with a wool hat and in heavy weight thermals. That's what it took to be comfortable at night.
A four season tent is noticeably warmer than a 3 season.
Also setting up camp in an area protected from the wind makes a big difference.
