    Lucca staying!!

    O..K...A...Y. This quote is right either way. If Lucca stays, That is the first sentence. Mr 'F' Bomb gets it right. If Lucca Leaves (NOOOOO!!!!), the second sentence provides the wiggle room because it says only that Lucca is leaning toward ISU. Mr 'F' Bomb is right again IF the quote...

    Why the Stock Market Goes Up More on Bad News

    1) low volume = easier to move the market 2) The market is still down almost 40% from its peak last year 3) Notice how the spin is 'The rate of decline is slowing' or 'we see glimmers of hope' ? When the market was tanking everyday we were hearing things like 'major banks are all...

    Weather

    More like a fading (dying) weak La Nina. Weak La Nina tend to produce cool and wet spring in the upper Midwest. I say 'tend' because La Nina and El Nino (ENSO teleconnects for you weather geeks) have only been studied back to the 1970's so there arent large sample sizes to generalize from...

    Severe Weather Sundays

    GRLevelX Main Page I wish my laptop could run the 3D (GR2 Analyst) one, so I have to stick with GRLevel3 I've got like 8 different radar features logging right now on a 2 hour time frame.

    Severe Weather Sundays

    Maybe the first inch or so of rain soaked in, but Pleasant Hill has 2.5 inches before the main show even gets here in 10 minutes or less. SLeepy HOllow's driving range is almost totally underwater and Four Mile Creek is bankfull already. Empty the trailerparks on the DM eastside !

    Severe Weather Sundays

    I see know have a second tornado warning for a supercell out in front of the main line of storms. The main line of storms is turning into a beautifull looking forward propagating MCC (mesoscale convection complex). Looks like it is starting to turn into a wind event and not so much a hail...

    R.I.P. Pontiac

    This, folks, is the goal no car maker has figured out yet. Can they make Hybrids ? Yes Can they make 'Plug in Hybrids ? Yes Can they sell one at a price that makes the car maker a big profit and the public will buy in large numbers ? I guess we will just see because the answer today is NO...

    Thank You Jon Miller

    I agree that politics and religion need to stay out of sports and sports talk radio. Deacer has a separate 3 hour show for politics and religion. The last thing I want to see or hear at a sporting event is a politician (I don't care what 'party' they are affiliated with) and the last thing I...

    Spring Game MVP

    Bo 'lower the boom' Williams played a fair amount and had at least one big run. He isn't much of a blocker so A Robb definitely has a big advantage in that area...

    Miller and Deace in the morning

    I really like the show too. I'll concede that I wasn't a fan of the the old morning show or the 2 to 4 pm show, but this one just works. It is fast paced and keeps my interest. Some of the fun is trying to figure out all the nonsports references you guys have worked into a topic. Just...

    Ferentz..incidents are not a big deal

    KF isn't very good with the calendar either. August 2008 to April 2009 is a few months shy of a 'year'.

    Questions for meteorologists or mathematicians, or both

    When you see 20% chance of rain in the forecast, it is technically a 20% probability of precip (POPS). Another weather item that routinely is mucked up by the media is the once a century flood. Technically, the statistic is that there is a 1% probability that a flood of that type will...

    Favorite Golf Courses (DM Metro)

    Terracce Hills out on the east edge of Altoona is a pretty good deal as well. It is not as challenging as Legacy or Waveland but it is a little longer than Grandview and has a nice mix of tight fairways and wide open grip it and rip it holes. Speed of play is pretty good, tee times are easily...

    Weekend snowstorm?

    Upper 30s with a rain/snow mix and a pretty nasty wind... BTW, I think this is the 4th blizzard in the last 3 weeks isn't it ? First it was NE Wyoming into the Dakotas. Then the next big storm was the Panhandle/Kansas Blizzard. Then the Dakotas got Blizzarded again in the past few days...

    Weekend snowstorm?

    Re: Winter's Revenge? Not at this time, the hourly breakdown only has 1.5 inch of snow and temps around 35. The 'trend' is for storms to track NW of forecast AND to not be quite as bad. For DM residents WHO HATE winter, that would be a good trend. NW Iowans who want snow, will like that...

    Weekend snowstorm?

    Re: Winter's Revenge? Snowgasm ! How are they getting those snowfall totals ? The hourly grid for DM has only .24 of an inch of liquid on Sunday with a temp that never falls below 35F. Even going with 6 in of snow to 1 inch ratio, that still produces 1.5 inch of snow. The wind is going to...
