Juliancolton Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Here's a fun game I like to play with some of my fellow weather enthusiasts from other boards and chatrooms, and apparently there was something similar back at easternuswx, so here goes. Somebody posts a picture of a past tropical cyclone from anywhere in the globe, with no obvious hints as to the storm's date. Anybody else can guess the storm's name and year. I usually like to use somewhat well-defined cyclones, such as this one: But random piddly storms can be fun too... Any ideas on those two? These are probably as hard as I ever pick, but the Wilma's and Monica's are too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Analog96 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 floyd allison Look again. The first storm is NOT located near the United States. Look at the land masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 super typhoon bart? and don? lol The second one is actually Bill 03, but Don is a legit guess. I'd still like to see some more guesses on the first typhoon, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 STY Wipha 2007? Yup. Nice work. How about this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebreaker5221 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Cool! I wasn't certain, but I guess it was a pretty good guess! I was originally going to guess that the new post is Mitch, but then I realized it's a bit too far north. Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebreaker5221 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I just realized that if I put the mouse over the image (didn't even do it intentionally) it says the storm name! Might be a good idea to rename the files before posting so people don't cheat. Wow, Michelle? I forgot about that hurricane somehow. I can't believe how well defined her eye was.

das Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Yup. Nice work. How about this one? Michelle. I have a cool all-day loop of the storm on this particular day. GOES went into RSO for parts of the day. Very cool. If anyone wants it, let me know. Heh, I just noticed the answer is there in the attachment tag. Edited to add, I see Icebreaker figured out the cheat faster than me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I entirely forgot this board doesn't automatically rename files on upload... oh well. Here's another one with a more cryptic filename. I would like to see that loop though!

I would like to see that loop though! No idea on that storm. Looks like she's about to ramp up pretty good though. Here's a link to the loop. 45+mb so it will take a few to download: https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=f5a6540b544483e3&resid=F5A6540B544483E3!195&parid=F5A6540B544483E3!123&authkey=!AOuXC150t1URpUI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Could it be Darby 2010? Nope, but good guess. This storm moved generally northeast from there, which I believe made it the only storm in history to do so in its location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmx Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Nope, but good guess. This storm moved generally northeast from there, which I believe made it the only storm in history to do so in its location. Well, it's Adrian 2005 then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Well, it's Adrian 2005 then Yup. I dunno, I feel like this is kind of a cool way to look back on some older storms we don't really think about much. I forgot about Adrian until today. Anybody else want to post one?
