Test your weather knowledge

[Hellbent]

I thought this quiz was pretty tough; I didn't do too well, though I did best the average score.

Bah, 76%. Might have done better if I had actually read the questions a bit more carefully. Got a few of the more difficult ones (e.g. gravity wind) because I have been to the polar regions. And living in MN, I couldn't help but know -40. :p

Not bad, better than my 64%.

What is an equinox:

Heh.

I got 84%. Some of the US-based questions (e.g. which states comprise 'tornado alley') tripped me up, as did the definition of "spring tide" and one of the Greek etymologies. I'm honestly surprised by how much of this knowledge I've retained, given that I mostly just perpetually dress for mid-autumn, and attempt to ignore the weather as much as possible.
