Weather Quiz

Post by MackerelSky »

A short 25 question weather quiz showed up on the CWOP mailing list today and I thought I would pass it along

http://wxqa.com/news.html

I correctly answered 17 of the 25, kind of a poor showing but oh well. 68%
Care to share your results?

21/25 84%, there are a few US centric questions in there though, and who knew where the previous wind record was recorded - not me obviously :roll:

Yeah, alittle unfair on a couple of the Q's, but you did pretty good.

That observatory is notorious for wind chill during the winter.

24/25 = 96%. I'd never heard of Cleveland Abbe before. A couple of my correct answers were intelligent guesses.
