    question for weather gurus

    That x year flood number is misleading. What a 500 year flood means is that there is a 1/500 chance this year that a flood will reach that level. The skeptic in me would ask how we know what a flood of that magnitude is. Did we ask the Native Americans for 350 years of river flooding...

    Any reason someone like this wouldn't get jail time

    This whole story bothers me on so many levels. 1) Dont they owe taxes on this $300,000 house since it is a $300,000 - one payment 'gift' now? 2) By making one payment, didn't they 'acknowledge' that they 'owned' the house and the mortgage was agreeable to them ? Why would you make a...

    Weather Thread (3/5/11)

    If you were hoping for a snowstorm in Central Iowa you are outta luck for 3/5. The past two model trends have kept only light precip in central Iowa. Now early next week is looking very interesting as the models are still locked on to a decent looking storm traveling very close to or over...

    Stupid Warning Labels

    I bought one of those insulated Thermos brand insulated containers because the advertising said it keeps hot fluids hot, and cold fluids cold. When you open the container, the first piece of paper says not to use it for hot fluids...

    Christmas Weather

    Accuweather, especially the 15 day forecast, is pretty much the GFS computer model without human intervention. There are several other long term computer models besides the GFS and they usually disagree until right before the storm. Sometimes during the storm. For this one, the European...
