Central North Carolina, is the most populous portion of the state, however, unlike most cities across the nation, there are no significant bodies of water in the central cities (excluding lakes and the city of Eden). Furthermore, the topography only contains a few ponds and the rest is nothing but trees. With this said, do you consider central NC to be the desert of the U.S. South?
Have you ever seen that area? No, it's not even close to a desert, doesn't meet the geological definition of one and well...it just isn't.
Raleigh typically get's 46-48 inches of rain a year. Just because we had been in a drought off and on for the last few years does not make this area a desert. This area typically gets plenty of rain and is VERY green.
