Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What is an “Omega High?” No, it has nothing to do with recent Oregon legislation. Try again. Please remember to post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no comments /comments” in the upper right hand portion of this page under the caption, then add your comment. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. The answer has to be a comment to win. An email answer will not count. Good luck.
