Okay..........I'm going to ask you a lot of questions so please pe patient because I really need to know this.
What are the major cities in Tornado Alley?
Is the Midwest or Northeast colder in the winter?
What is the coldest Southern, Wester, Northeastern, and Midwestern state?
What is the most "mid western" state?
Which states are the hottest to coldest? Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada or California?
What is the muggiest southern states, also including Hawaii?
Which region gets the most snow? Pacific West (not including Alaska, Southwest, Midwest, New England, Mid Atlantic, South, Mountain, or Great Plains?
Of that region, which one is the coldest, driest, wettest, snowiest, warmest, and most densely populated?Who can Help me on Weather and Geography?
Sorry, but I don't know the answers to all of these. You might want to use textbooks, search engines (such as google) to help you out.
Fort Worth, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Wichita, Topeka, Omaha
Midwest
Kentucky, Montana, Maine, North Dakota
North Dakota
Good luck with the rest.Who can Help me on Weather and Geography?
This webpage will tell you and show you the map of Tornado Alley

Both of these places are very cold usually during the winter time. But generally I think that it would be more the northeast area. But because of the open plains that are within the midwest area, it is probably that it would be really cold in this area.
Northeastern and Midwestern states are usually the coldest. The southern states, do not usually see that cold of weather.
Nebraska would be the most western of the midwest states.
California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah
Hawaii is one of the most muggiest states I believe, but a lot of the southern ones that are in the Gulf of Mexico and those areas.
It would be areas in the Central Coast to the Northern Coast area of BC.
It would probably be somewhere like Prince Rupert.

Am I a fair weather/bandwagon fan?
Ok heres the deal I have been an Arizona State University fan since I was 8 cuz they are the home team. I have been going to there games for quite some time like 8 years. (Im 18 now) I also started to become a die hard utah fan. See my mom graduated there and so did a ton of my extended family and I've been a die hard since 2004. I have owned tons of ASU merchandise for a while. Recently I have been buying lots of UofU gear cuz I have a job and have money now. But everyone is calling me a bandwagoner. Oh yea annd I have always pulled for my two teamseven if they were loosing. ASU especially hahaAm I a fair weather/bandwagon fan?
I don't care and neither should you. If someone starts paying me for my loyalties, I MIGHT think about their opinion. Otherwise, only one person's opinion is important concerning who or what you want to support. I like the Browns and the Cardinals. Do I give diddley squat how you feel about it??? There's your answer..Am I a fair weather/bandwagon fan?
Your mom went to utah so since she went there its ok. plus utah is not a bandwagoner team. If you were to go for auburn florida or usc you would be a bandwagon fan.Am I a fair weather/bandwagon fan?

Anyone live in Provo or Salt Lake City Utah?
Do you like it? Which has better weather? How is the economy, schools, housing? Did you move there from elsewhere? I've decided that if I am going to move from Buffalo, NY, then that is probably where I am going to look. Preferably a detached 3 bd. house with a garage in a safe area. My husband would need to find a job as an addictions/mental health counselor. My business at present is portable and I would be looking for an opportunity in the future with Ancestry.com or the LDS Family History Library Headquarters. That would only be if I get better health wise but would probably happen with the change of climate. I also have a hs senior who will be going to college by Jan 2009 or Sept 2009 and pursuing a creative field. I probably won't go unless my siblings and mother do but it wouldn't take much convincing to get the siblings and spouses to go.
If I stay here I will be in a wheelchair in less than ten years and I am missing out on a life I planned for in college.Anyone live in Provo or Salt Lake City Utah?
I grew up in Provo and spent 10 years of my adult life in Salt Lake. Provo is not nearly as nice as SLC. It's a lot more conservative and more closed minded as far as the people go than I care for.
Salt Lake is quite nice. The weather can be a bummer in the winter since it is in a valley it gets pretty hazy and just down right depressing, but summer, fall and spring there is beautiful.
There are a lot of nice, safe neighborhoods, but anything in a nice area is really expensive. If you are planning on working for the church since all their offices tend to be downtown, some decent areas for you to look for housing would be the zip codes of 84103- east side, 84109, 84108, 84124 and 84117. All those areas are very safe, upperclass neighborhoods and fairly close to downtown and good freeway access. The schools are all better in those neighborhoods and even though housing is more expensive in those areas, with market slow right now you should be able to get a good deal on a house.
Here is a great website to look at all the mls house listings. Search in those zip codes I gave you and see what you think.

I visited Provo and Salt Lake City a few years ago. If you're LDS it is probably better in Provo but Salt Lake City has LDS too. The weather is cold in winter..snow etc but not cold as Upstate Buffalo New York. It is a desert valley, so it will get hot sometimes in the summer but it is beautiful with the Wasatch Mountains to the east. It is dry...not that much humidity like back east. Take a visit there and visit both areas and look around. I think the Family History Library jobs are voluntary, but I could be wrong. The Headquarters can be different.

Have you ever taken your toddlers for a camp-out in freezing, snowy weather?
...and if so, was your wife abducted by aliens when you returned home?

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Police had little to go on Sunday in the search for a Utah woman who hasn't been seen for a full week.
Twenty-eight-year-old Susan Powell was reported missing from a Salt Lake City suburb in a case that police call suspicious.
She left behind two children and a husband, who says he doesn't know what happened to her.
West Valley City Police Capt. Tom McLachlan says at least eight detectives worked the case Sunday, fielding any tips or leads they can get from the family or friends.
Detectives are appealing for the public's help.
They plan to conduct another interview early this week with husband Josh Powell, who told police he left his wife and took his boys, ages 2 and 4, on a camping trip around midnight Dec. 6 in subfreezing temperatures.
Powell told police he slept in a van with the boys in Utah's west desert. Police say he returned home Tuesday evening. They haven't been able to verify the camping trip because snow had covered the spot where he said he went.
The missing woman's father, Chuck Cox, sat down to tell the detectives everything he knew about his daughter Sunday, then took a few hours off "after going nonstop for six days," said a spokeswoman for Susan Powell's family in Payallup, Wash.
"We don't have any reason or direction or anything that would give us an idea that she's at one place or another," said the spokeswoman, Shelby Gifford.
In Utah, many of the family members and friends were fasting, praying and resting Sunday, said Damon Talbot, president of the nonprofit Destiny Search Project. Talbot helps maintain a Facebook page for Susan Powell that was created by her best friend, Kiirsi Hellewell in West Valley City. Hellewell had nothing new to report Sunday afternoon.
Police say they can't confirm the husband's account of taking a camping trip while his wife disappeared.
Detectives visited the spot, Simpson Springs on the historic Pony Express Trail in Utah's west desert. Josh Powell told authorities he kept shelter with his children in a van while camping.
McLachlan said police questioning of the 4-year-old child wasn't definitive. He declined to elaborate.
"It's still a missing-person case. We don't have any information or fact to move it from that classification," McLachlan said. "But it is very suspicious to us, given the circumstances."
Susan Powell disappeared without taking her purse or cell phone or other items "that you would normally associate with somebody leaving the house," he said.Have you ever taken your toddlers for a camp-out in freezing, snowy weather?
That dude is so guilty. It's just a matter of time before they find her corpse and then it's over for him.Have you ever taken your toddlers for a camp-out in freezing, snowy weather?
No, I haven't. I did take my four year old camping in July though. My wife survived the ordeal.
The guy in this news story is obviously hiding something. Stevie Wonder can see the holes in his story.

I love science but don't really understand the first question but can help the the 2nd and 3rd.
I will guess New York City where I'm guessing the wind comes across the Atlantic Ocean.
2. Lower latitudes tend to have higher temperatures because they receive more sun on average because they have the sun more directly overhead all year long. The earth north and south poles are at the highest latitudes (90 degrees) and have the lowest temperatures.
3. Brighton Utah is at 8700 feet and high altitudes generally are cooler than lower altitudes. Salt Lake City is about 5000 feet and thus is lower and warmer. The air cools about 4 degrees for every 1000 feet of elevation.10 pts plzz help! Science! Weather stuff!?

1. This could be either b or c, as both cities lie on the Atlantic coast.
2. C, because lower latitudes get more direct sunlight than higher latitudes.
3. C, Look at a map and see where Brighton is located. There is a nice mountain range just east of Salt Lake. Do you understand the effect of mountains on temperatures and precipitation?

Questions about Alaska and weather,etc. ?
For those who live/lived in Alaska or have family or have been there,i want to learn more about it and what it's like. I live in utah and i'm trying to find a a good place to move to. I HATE utah. People are horrible and soo judge mental here. I live with my mom,and she hates the rain,so does it rain alot in alaska? What towns in alaska rain alot and is it always dark there?
What places in Alaska are sunny most of the time and rain less and is Alaska a good place for people with asthma?
And how are the people out there?
Best answer gets 10 points! I need as much info as possible!
ThanksQuestions about Alaska and weather,etc. ?
I have lived in Alaska since I was born. I'm 18 now.
So to your first question - does it rain a lot?
Alaska is a large place and it really depends on where you go. I am from Anchorage, used to live in Cordova for 5 years. It doesn't rain much in Anchorage, which is south-central, and the largest city (Probably the first place you would go if you fly in) but Cordova, AK is only about 150 or so miles east, and it rains over 100 inches a year. Basically, anywhere on the coast is probably going to rain a lot. If you don't like rain, South-East and the Aleutians aren't for you.
2) Is it always dark there?
It depends on how far north-south you are. In Barrow, there is a large chunk of the year in which it is dark 24/7. In the summer, it's sunny 24/7 in most of Alaska for a period. How long it is like that depends on how far north or south you are. In the North, it will be dark for a longer period, and be really light for a longer period. But if you're in Anchorage, it will be light for 24 hours for a few weeks and be light the rest of the time for most of the day in the summer. In the winter, it will get to where there is only about 5 hours of daylight. But you get used to it.
What Places in Alaska Are Sunny?
Interior Alaska is really sunny. Like up in Fairbanks. I have never lived there, but I have heard that it rarely rains. My mom is from Gakona, and went to University in Fairbanks for a couple years, and she says it is pretty sunny and nice. It gets really hot up there, so I assume it is sunny.
Anchorage has been kind of hit and miss - the last couple summers have sucked balls.
South-East is rainy a lot. Many places get over 100 inches of rain in a year. I lived in Cordova, and one winter we had only 3 sunny days - everything else was either snow, rain, or clouds. Sometimes the rain and snow would kind of mix and everything would get icy and slushy, and it would suck balls. But Cordova was fun and a nice place to live regardless.
How is Alaska for Asthma?
No clue, I don't have it, but I have friends with it and they function fine
And how are the people out there?
Not bad! My dad says that people up in Fairbanks get bitter from the cold, but he could be full of crap. I have found that people in rural areas are way nicer than people from Anchorage. Anchorageans or whatever we're called can be ***** sometimes. That's because many are from the lower 48, are not really Alaskans, don't want to be Alaskans, and don't adjust. Not all people are like that, but there are bad apples that really spoil it. My family has lived up here since about 1910. They are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. In fact, most people out of the city, and most people in the city itself, really are. I've never been to South-East, or Y-K Delta, or Alaska Peninsula, but it's probably similar. It all depends on what you want to do. Many people come up here with prejudices from down south, oppose people who fish and hunt as a way of life, and don't get that that is a part of the lifestyle for many Alaskans. Just another way of thinking, but if you are like that, you'll close a lot of doors with people - always keep your connections open.
In the end, Alaska really has just about everything you would want. You can stay in the big city (Anchorage), go out and live out in the country and live more in tune with the land, go hunting, fishing, boating, flying, whatever you want pretty much. It's a big country, there's a lot to do.
Additional Questions -
2 Bedroom Apartment - About 800 dollars last time I looked, but that's been a while and i'm not in the market. I suggest you look at the Anchorage Craigslist.
Gas Prices - It was like 3.27 when I gassed up today. Not cheap, but hey, gas ain't cheap anymore like it used to be.Questions about Alaska and weather,etc. ?
I have visited Alaska a few times in winter. As you get further north day length has greater seasonal extremes. At Barrow, the northernmost town, there are weeks around the summer solstice that the sun never sets, and there are weeks around the winter solstice in which the sun never gets above the horizon. The sun does skim a few degrees below the horizon on winter days, so there is midday twilight. Barrow has a lot of street lighting for such a small town.
http://www.wunderground.com/wximage/view鈥?/a>
Winters get very cold, but not as much as you might expect. Record low is -53掳F. The ice cold seawater circulating under the ice compensates somewhat for latitude in winter. However, it can get windy, with dangerously low windchill. Summers get above freezing, but not very much. Barrow's rainfall is low enough to be technically a desert. However cloudy days are frequent, and in summer mosquitoes proliferate in ponds that form on the frozen tundra.
In Fairbanks, a few degrees below the arctic circle, the sun sets briefly during the summer solstice. However there is summer midnight twilight. Days are short during the winter. Fairbanks gets less annual precipitation than Salt Lake City, and only slightly more snowfall. However, it seems like more. The snow goes months without melting. The underlying permafrost prevents water from sinking very deeply into the ground. Winters get cold. The record is -62掳F. More typically a winter season might drop to about -40掳F. It takes an investment in clothes. Fairbanks is surrounded by wilderness, but the city is very suburban. Automobile exhaust seems to be especially persistent in the winter cold.
Getting closer to the Gulf of Alaska winter temperatures are less severe. There is more rain.channel 5 weather college books envy 14 2 what is management

Fairbanks gets less annual precipitation than Salt Lake City, and only slightly more snowfall. However, it seems like more. The snow goes months without melting. The underlying permafrost prevents water from sinking very deeply into the ground. Winters get cold. The record is -62掳F. More typically a winter season might drop to about -40掳F. It takes an investment in clothes. Fairbanks is surrounded by wilderness, but the city is very suburban. Automobile exhaust seems to be especially persistent in the winter cold.
Getting closer to the Gulf of Alaska winter temperatures are less severe. There is more rain.
