Ignoring, of course, a minor financial fiasco resulting in the resignation of the school's president and subsequent charges by the NJ attorney general against the school and several of its officers. Details:

Well, if he used the money for the website, it was money well spent.

OJ,
We sure could have used that data to keep from spilling our rum during our voyage down the Hudson.
Excellent site!

I use this one all the time. Uconn might not have as nice a campus but the information is good.

I will often check the 12 hour history to see what the winds were while we were out. I wish the web cam had a better orientation.
