They’ll talk about Game 4 for decades, like it was inevitable.
But it wasn’t. By all accounts, the Knicks should have lost.
Watching it live and not knowing how it would end, versus how we discuss it now, is what makes sports beautiful.
Russia should be among the 8 teams. Undoubtedly. Russian players decorate the NHL with their skill and commitment. To deny them is a slap in the face to players Nikita Kucherov who dedicate their lives to improving their skill level--at their benefit, yes--and thus enhances the entertainment value of the sport. Be above the sanctimonious and filth-muck of politics and politicians--the dregs of the earth. We are watching a hockey tournament.
What a HORRIBLE forecast by meteorologists – especially myself.
Not only were we spectacularly wrong – we communicated poorly.
It became apparent last night that some of our initial expectations would prove fallacious.
I'd like to address what went wrong with our forecast:
Not a dumb question at all!
Technically, yes, wind at the same speed would be less impactful at higher elevations than at sea level. Because the density of the air is lower, there are fewer molecules to blow against you and create the resistance you feel in heavy winds.
Wind load (the force of wind pushing on an object) is directly proportional to air density, meaning the wind load in Denver (where the density is on average 82% that of sea level) would also be 82% of that at sea level.
However, realistically, any difference would probably be negligible in terms of what your body experiences. So it might be 18% less forceful, but would you really notice?
Still think weather isn't real @hen_ease?
