Happy Monday everyone, thanks for stopping by! Yes I did produce some well-liked information today, and if you heard it, you're probably still shocked yet excited. For probably the first time ever I announced a 100% chance of a school closing 5 days prior to when expected. Big leap right? Well, not so fast. Wind chills are expected to be around -30 here on Friday, and all of the computer models and forecasters seem to agree. Schools delay on -20, and close on -25 (at least that's the way it was done when I e-mailed then-Superintendent Egan at 5AM on hopeful closing days). Anyway, stay tuned for updates throughout the week. Now the really exciting news. We're finally dumping the Windows Vista interface here at The Central New York Weather Center after only a year. Next month, we'll be completely doing an overhaul to Mac OS X Leopard here in the forecast center. This will provide up-to-the-second (literally) updates on what's happening with the weather all over. This will also open new doors yet to be opened here as of now to new design techniques and page formats on the website (we've yet to determine if this means a redesign, but it probably will). With this new technology combined with the media power and knowledge of The Central New York Weather Center, we will continue to be at the top of the ratings and rankings lists, as we have for some time now, as the #1 online weather source in Central New York. Stay tuned.
