Re: 2024 Weather Thread

Bah, what a letdown. Is it due to the clouds sticking around longer than anticipated? Also, to put a real world example to your recent skew-t Ted Talk, would part of the issue be the fairly negligent difference between the red and green lines around 800mb in the upper left chart? https://www.spc.noa...

Re: I-80 signs on the iowa side

For those signs, you are already in Cincinnati and Toledo, respectively, the control cities where those images were taken. A similar scenario exists on I80 within Omaha. At the 680/80 (WB) and 480/80 (EB & WB) splits signs specifically call out "Downtown", but, again, at that point you...

Re: I-80 signs on the iowa side

Likely because of interstate signage standards. Omaha is the control city as the main focus of WB traffic on that section vs a more specific destination of "downtown" that isn't technically a destination on either I80 or I29.

Yes, expansion is what Yates was selling, but iirc the NHL isn't looking to do so. A relocation would've been the next best thing.

Well, the only NHL franchise that was prime for relocation, the Arizona Coyotes, are heading to Salt Lake City. Not that NHL in NE had a great chance but in my mind this would be the nail in the proverbial coffin.
