The guy who brought the anti-bussing case that resegregated Raleigh schools? He moved down from Buffalo.

The screenwriter did a fantastic job of capturing a certain kind of exuberant nerd tribal joy with that plucky team of academic meteorologists and I love them for it.

Western Carolina has some great profs, but in the late 80's it's not the first place you'd go in NC to get that degree. And he didn't particularly shine while he was there.
He wasn't good enough for anything but CBP but in CBP he was very good compared to everyone else.

I hate how people like the chud who made the original post romanticize life in rural America while at the same time do everyhting they can to make that life harder while blaming it on everyone else.
And I wish more people were angry about that.

That house might well be $95,000 but it'll need a ton of work and heating (and oh will you need to heat it) will be like throwing $100 bills out the window. And you'd better check it out during the summer so you know how close the nearest hog confinement is.
