I'm jealous, although we got some rain a few days ago. Forecast for the week here is 70s and clear skies for at least the next seven days. Although I like my clouds and rain, I guess I can't complain.

Because Ophelia in 2005 did not do enough damage to warrant the WMO to retire the name.

Edit - Although, even if it wasn't a cop, I still believe in the death penalty.
I don't have a problem with the death penalty. What I DO have a problem with is that all these recants from witnesses and jurors have created enough doubt that would warrant a review of the case. It's sorta like the Casey Anthony case: too much doubt for me and a lot of other people.

As of 11:15 PM EDT, Troy Davis has been executed. This is not a proud moment in American history.

It pretty much depends on the U.S. Supreme Court to stay the execution. The execution has been delayed about 20 minutes already.

The deadline for opinions and suggestions on the new site layout was last week. I don't know when the new site is supposed to come up.

Cloudy and calm, temperature around 60, apparently with scattered funnel clouds. Anyone else see a Special Weather Statement like this?

A High Wind Watch is in effect for many counties just west of us, for forecasts of NW winds of 40 mph sustained. Gusts of 60 mph are possible as well.
Forecast for Tuesday calls for tropical storm force wind gusts in Grand Forks, but this number may be changed.

Looks like our "N" storm may be in the works. 60% chance of development in the far Eastern Atlantic.

Fall is coming pretty quickly around the corner. Official autumnal equinox is Friday, September 23rd, at 9:04 Zulu. Then again, that doesn't exactly mean much temperature wise for some of you.
