weather quiz!

[Laura Duchesne]

I suppose no one is going to get this, and I don't want this thread to die, because it is fun. The answer can be seen in a newspaper clipping from my private collection of tornado stuff:

How can you expect someone to know that kinda stuff? This should be a weather trivia, not a quiz about people.

To answer Sam's question and to add to Mike's answer, it was Yoshi Sasaki.

 

[Sam Sagnella]

I suppose both Mike and Laura should each get to ask a question now, as your collaboration led to the correct answer: Yoshi Sasaki in 1960.

Good Job, Guys!

Scud is a term that chasers have used for a long time. What does scud actually stand for? (hint, scud is actually an abbreviation)

 

[Jeff Wear]

scattered cumulus under deck

 

[Laura Duchesne]

Very good Jeff. Your turn to shoot us a wx question! 8)

What term was used to define a "wall cloud" before the term "wall cloud" became popular?

 

[Robert Dewey]

I'm going to say collar cloud, but that's a guess...

 

[Jeff Wear]

Although some people do mistakenly use "collar cloud" as a synonym for "wall cloud" - the collar cloud is something entirely different. The synonym I'm looking for is actually still in use today - although it is quite obscure. Any guesses?


EDIT.....if nobody gets this by 11pm CST, I'll post the answer
