Same. We moved to SE Wake in 2003. All of the fields and farms and woods have been turned into neighborhoods. Too many people and the roads are still the same. Plus we have to watch people 3 miles away get snow while it rains. I hate it here lol

Ugh you are me in 10 years

That store died right around 2008. Wasn’t it near Crabtree in Raleigh ?

 

[Avalanche]

Used to go there all the time. Hit up the batting cage at Grand Slam too.

Do you remember the Village Tavern pizza joint on Western?

Yeah I think so.

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

75% of the board under some type of winter weather advisory/watch/warning and another potential threat just around the corner and Larry over in the Januworry thread telling us the MJO finally in a good spot, naw dog really? Lol

[Rain Cold]

Absolutely. Kind of a cheaper version of Pizza Inn.

Kept that Taco Bell there in business when I was in college.

Loved it, and yes, I was young and broke.

I didn't but while Enron was fleecing people, I worked at RadioShack during my mid 20's, at about the time the 1st store closings started filtering through.

Oh man Radio Shack ? loved that place

Circuit City too!

Please give me Radio Shack again. Got my first Boombox 1982, CB radio in 1987, stereo system and needle for turntable there.

That's a good question. In it's heyday, RS had two types of stores. Direct corporate, and dealers authorized to sell RS branded merchandise. The last time I checked, all the corporate stores had shut down, but there were still dealers (like this one) that had the RS name.

The dealers tended to be in smaller towns. Often longtime, locally owned electronics (or CB/hobby) stores in which there was one store. Siler City comes to mind. There wasn't a single one that was in a larger city back when I worked there.

Anyway, the corporate stores are long gone (bankrupt in 2011ish? I dunno), but these authorized dealers still exist. Probably with RS branded cables. There's also still a website. So somebody scooped up the name. But I'm fairly certain the current version bears nothing to what we think of.

Also to bring this back to weather, I once met Van Denton while working there. Our store was close to WGHP. Nice guy. Shorter that I was expecting. (they say people look taller on TV--they are right)

Love having 2 different storm threads to read at the same time. Can't remember when that ever happened when both storms were legitimate.

After an in depth review of all models over the last 2 weeks, my forecast for here tomorrow is 0-48 inches of snow, 0-4 inches of sleet, + 0-1 inch of freezing rain.

 

[BirdManDoomW]

I apologize for my behavior earlier

I have you under a Winter Slop Warning. You're gonna get 1-2 inches of something. Some of it will freeze on trees. Hopefully not too much. If it gets above 32, you'll end up with slop like me.

You have a much better chance of getting more slop than I do. And also more pingers.

 

[SC_Wildcat]

Looking like next week might be the trick for some snow imby. Too bad I'm gonna be at Disney World hoping for no rain. This winter sucks for me.

 

[SimeonNC]

Me looking at the precip heading right for my backyard.

 

[Tarheel1]

When you book a cabin 1 1/2 hours away in the mountains, but then get more snow at home!!?

 

[Tarheel1]

Where in SC do you reside?

[SC_Wildcat]

Dillon, it's early but looks sorta favorable at the moment.

 

[Shawn]

I think there was just some confusion on what you were calling warnings etc.

Speaking of... maybe we are gonna have to make a mountains sub-forum soon.

 

[RBR71]

Well HRRR and 3k NAM don't look as good over here for this morning and I'm already losing Friday's system, going back to sleep wake me when the nightmare is over

Yeah that place was good. When did it close?

Was that the one that scarred Fishel for life?

You had to have more "skill" then cause models sucked.

If I were to "go to the grocery store" and slip on some ice.. could I be "compensated"?

 

[RBR71]

So it can snow in SC, who knew.

Congrats all!!

It probably was. The exact opposite of the January 2000. It was bright and sunny by 1:00 pm that day.
