but it isn't directly on the midpoint of the atlantic seaboard. how could they do that?

6/9/2009 11:32:08 PM

well she doesnt live directly in the north of wake county....which i guess you would consider the north edge of the county by your logic

6/9/2009 11:33:56 PM

probably the same way people call north raleigh north raleigh

6/9/2009 11:34:16 PM

i don't think you understand jmoney. that's cadwal's logic. i was mocking it.

6/9/2009 11:35:12 PM

well either way i shouldnt have been sucked into this...i feel i have failed myself

6/9/2009 11:36:10 PM

all i'm saying is you said "i'm in north raleigh and it isn't raining here like it shows on the radar" and i looked at the radar and it hadn't crossed 540 yet, which is for the most part the northern boundary of what i call raleigh. so i was like "the radar doesn't even show it raining in north raleigh yet". i was just trying to show you why someone would doubt your interpretation of the radar in that situation.

lol i reckon we just have different interpretations of where raleigh's boundaries are.

6/9/2009 11:38:38 PM

i just know people in my area and "north raleigh" that have been here for 30 years have like, always called it that. so that is how i know it. because 540 is relatively new in the scheme of raleigh. so i'm just going by what it has been called ever since i've lived here. i suppose if i lived farther out i'd say bay leaf or falls lake area. but 540 seems like a logical boundary, however, people have been living here since before 540!! and it is north of raleigh (by like a mile) so it is still north raleigh to me!

6/9/2009 11:43:30 PM

cadwal, we'll just agree to disagree, like usual

6/9/2009 11:44:16 PM

fine fine

(but i don't get why you'd agree to disagree to call something north of raleigh north raleigh )

6/9/2009 11:51:39 PM

virginia is north of raleigh

let's call that north raleigh

6/9/2009 11:52:26 PM

you know what i mean


does virginia have a raleigh address? if so then fine, call it raleigh!

to me "north of raleigh" means it's, well, north of raleigh

and "north raleigh" means it's in raleigh, but the northern portion

and i draw my boundaries where the city draws them

for example, back home i live outside of the goldsboro city limits. when i'm talking to someone from around home, i tell them i live east of goldsboro, not in east goldsboro. or i'll say i live in eastern wayne county.

[Edited on June 9, 2009 at 11:59 PM. Reason : i have a goldsboro address, but i don't technically live in goldsboro]

6/9/2009 11:58:42 PM

i get it, but its just different here. the area i live in has been called north raleigh for years and years regardless of whether it is in the city limits (which have also crept outward!). perhaps farther out like around falls lake or something people wouldn't say "i live in north raleigh." i'm just calling it what everyone else has always called it!

it hasn't really ever been an issue before. a lot of schools/churches/businesses have it in their names (north raleigh blah blah blah). it is just different than where you are from, i guess. i don't make the rules!!!

now that is my last comment because ppl are going to read this thread and be like "wtf why were people arguing about north raleigh for two pages"

6/10/2009 12:08:08 AM

yessir

severe thunderstorm warning in my area.

6/18/2009 12:20:03 AM

6/18/2009 12:20:36 AM

6/18/2009 12:22:48 AM

6/18/2009 12:23:16 AM

technically that is north raleigh

thats like 2 miles from my jizob

6/18/2009 12:23:45 AM

i'm ready for storms.

6/18/2009 12:23:58 AM

i know seriously right!! i was trying to use the "correct" term this time GUYZ!! and be specific since n. raleigh is a big ol' confusing place

i don't know if it is going to get to me or not. because i hear rumbling far away thunder. it is close but i don't know if i'll see any rain or have any house shakin

[Edited on June 18, 2009 at 12:30 AM. Reason : .]

i think this time the storm you are referring is a little further north and is hitting wake forest right now

I loled IRL. That was great.

6/18/2009 12:31:15 AM

this is the kind of stuff i would do/say if i could ever get a job in meteorology...im about to go back to school and get another degree

6/18/2009 12:32:36 AM

^^^ i agree!

^ hahaha you should. i laughed at the comment too

i was like everyone hates meteorologists

6/18/2009 12:34:03 AM

GOOD STORY!

6/18/2009 12:35:30 AM

looks like you are about to get something soon code-man

well that GA stuff formed an L. you can almost see make an O in the middle of NC. so richmond area needs to get its act together and form the final L

[Edited on June 18, 2009 at 12:37 AM. Reason : amirite?]

6/18/2009 12:36:43 AM

yes. the red is approaching.

6/18/2009 12:37:14 AM

i think it is going to skip me again. i always get skipped. i hear little rumbly distance thunder, but i always get skipped!

6/18/2009 12:38:41 AM

oh my

6/18/2009 12:38:50 AM

ever since i moved up here for college ive noticed storms often skip/split around raleigh...its quite intriguing and ive wondered about doing research on storms and possible relationship to urban heating...


haha

/nerd

6/18/2009 12:39:36 AM

i'm always in the middle / right near the "bad" areas. like bad shit seems to always come our way from durham or WF. but the past few storms have totally skipped me for no reason. i'm like in very close proximity because i can hear it but it never comes

you should do the research pls and tell me your findings.

6/18/2009 12:41:14 AM

can't wait to move back and get my storm on...i won't see rain for here again

6/18/2009 12:41:15 AM

^ I noticed this trend as well. It always annoyed me when the "cool" storms would break up and disappear. I always looked forward to falling asleep to the sound of a thunderstorm those nights.

I think I'm gonna turn my computer off tonight so a power flicker doesn't fuck up my hard drives again.

6/18/2009 12:41:17 AM

^^when are you moving back from california?


^^^ i have free time right now, maybe i will do it ahah

6/18/2009 12:49:56 AM

6/18/2009 12:50:05 AM
