    What about south central VA? 25 zmiles southwest of Richmond 

    You need to stop with all the questions about your backyard? It does nothing for the thread.  Its best to learn how to read the models then add discussion. 

    Or go to your local NWS office webpage for the most information for your backyard.

    Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

    Today is NC + 2 for me. I'm still getting everything setup (furniture/internet), but I'm beginning to get a sense of the area. I live in a nice community surrounded by Massachusetts' equivalent of Route 1 on steroids (15/501). The only sketchy area I've seen so far is along 15/501 near Walmart, otherwise, not bad!

    Obviously, NC has a much different feel... Even the dirt looks different than in NE (more clay?).

    Yeah 15/501 reminds me s little of Rt 1 in Saugus and Lynn  area.  You are fine in that stretch from MLK Blvd down to I 40 and into Chapel Hill.  Wegmans will be opening in the spring 2021 right off 15/502 in chapel hill too.  I know they were building in Eastern Mass the last few years but its an awesome supermarket    Also when you go north on 15/501 take the freeway split towards I 85 at MLK drive. Get off the last exit before I 85 onto Hillsborough Rd. Turn left end of the ramp and go over 15/501 and then on your left is a small building called The Dog House. Good hotdogs there and french fries. They use Vienna beef for their dogs. Good stuff. 

     

    Like Jeremy said it is all clay an rock here in the Triangle. It sucks when digging and it is a mess when it rains. IT stains your shoes, socks, etc. Until you get past Raleigh and Garner the souil will turn into more sandyish on the coastal plain

    Hey guys,

    I'm moving to Durham, NC in several days and I wanted to ask, how should I prepare myself :lol:? 

    I lived in New England my entire life (MA->VT->CT->MA) and I'm mainly worried about insects/snakes.

    To be clear, I'm not worried about the weather...

    Well welcome to the Triangle.  I moved down from Southern New Hampshire then to Northern Virginia. I left there in May 2016 and moved to Apex. Stayed a year and then my wife and I built a house in Morrisville but in the Durham County side.  Im 2 miles from RDU Airport. Durham is a great place. Lots of different food choices, lots of street fairs/festivals, the DPAC which is the main choice for shows and concerts in downtown Durham. The American Tobacco Campus is really neat and in downtown.  Durham Bulls, although they are the Triple A of the Rays, it is a great ballpark and I always go when Pawtucket (soon to be Worcester) Red sox come to town./ I too, am a big Sox, Pats, Bruins and Celtics fan.  My Mets too though that comes from my roots in North Jersey.  The PNC arena usually will have more Bruins than Canes fans in it when they come to town. It is a fun place though. 

    As for snow and wintry weather, usually up by Roxboro and Person county is the best spot in relation to the triangle for snow.  Its a heck of  a commute though, unless it doesnt bother you. Summers blow dead rats here. It is humid and hot from May to SEptember even into October. FAll is a short period here, though we do get fall color through Thanksgiving. Again its not like New England falls. Spring can be nice or cool and wet here.  WE do get some good T storms here and the occasional effects from tropical systems. 

    Traffic isnt an issue here. Though people who live here say it is, but after living all my life in the Northeast, it really isnt that bad. The town of Cary actually has an acronym for it. Containment Area Relocated Yankees.  Cary is basically anyone from the Northeast.  Apex is more of a variable of people from the mid west too. 

     

    Pizza, I mean real pizza is tough to find here. I found one place that I have to pick up in Apex off Rt 1, called Big Sergios, they are from Brooklyn.  Chinese food is well hard to find too. There is Chinatown here, like Boston and NY and DC have but it is tolerable for the food. 

    If you have any other questions let me know, glad to help

    Anyone else have trouble getting your Davis wx station to work with weather underground? I have it all set up and it works thru my WeatherLink live and works on my Davis app.  But I did everything one is to do to get it online at Weather Underground and nothing happens. It just stays offline.  So GD frustrating on my end. 

    Anyone have any hints or advice please let me know.  WEather Underground of course has no customer service number

    Missed the showers and storms yesterday.  One cluster came out of Chapel Hill, then died as it got near me then redeveloped on the east side of RDU.  Hopefully today we get some rain showers.  Allergies are brutal today
