And honestly, the Triangle is a much more scientific driven metropolitan area than is Charlotte. While life sciences and computer sciences don't translate directly to meteorology, there's more of a connection there than the finance/banking/insurance of Charlotte. And many scientifically driven people will be interested in more fields than just the one they graduated in/work in. I work in biotech but me and tons of my coworkers have a ball model watching and putting out predictions. Same at my last gig. It's not a bad thing, it just is what it is- metros have different industries. The Triad just has some of the best NC metro winter odds so it makes sense that they would have a large representation vs a metro on the South Carolina border.
