This is a follow up question to the "do you know how weather radar works?" question I asked a while back.
It's two parts.
1) On a blank map of your state that only shows county lines, can you pinpoint your location? (In this case, "your location" would be your house.)
2) Can you name every county that touches the county you live in?
I'm always blown away how bad people are at geography. You'll see a snow map posted and people will comment "How much snow for my area?" There's literally a map there showing what you're asking. So for the first question, I can always point out where I am on a map. As for the second question, at first I thought, "Of course I can." But then I realized, I can only name the counties that border mine that are in PA. My county touches both MD and DE and I don't know them. Not sure if it's because they are different states or because they are the furthest counties away from me. But either way, even after looking them up the other day, I still can't tell you what they are right now.
