Tonight we worked to correct a problem in the way that the website was being rendered to browsers like Safari and Firefox.  Although the site rendered correctly using Internet Explorer, the site was unreadable and unusable from other browser platforms.

The problem has since been corrected and all browser platforms should be able to properly render the contents of the site.

Thanks for your patience while we resolved this issue.

Again, this week's overnight lows will plunge into the single digit and teens below zero.  About 30% of the nights so far in February have been below zero, while we have only had one day where the high didn't reach above zero.

If there is any consolation, we're less than a month away from Spring which is set to arrive at 5:48 AM on Thursday, March 20.  The mean temperature in March 2007 was 38 degrees.  We even saw one day where the temperature reached 82 degrees (March 26).

Now that is something to look forward too.  We could also wind up on the other side of the coin like the Spring of March 2002 where the mean temperature was a chilly 28 degrees.

We've been working hard on our latest release for Weathernerd.com.  The site again has a new look and feel with simplified functionality.

In Fall 2007, we released a design that offered additional data points around airport delays and other graphical representations.  The process to update this data on the website was completely automated and required little maintenance.  It was a good fit, but took away from the general idea of weather and weather data in your neighborhood.

We will continue to offer public forecasts for any zip code in the state of Minnesota, but we have trimmed back some of the functionality to focus on the weather data itself. 

If there is something gone that you miss, be sure to post your comments.  We appreciate your feedback and any suggestions you may have.

The new main site and the new blog share the same overall site design and navigation.  This will make it easier to get around and connect between the two sites.  We hope it helps to improve the overall usability.

Thanks for visiting our site.  We hope you enjoy it!
