    Red River Valley Weather.
    The jet stream cutting the state in half. Cold East Cool West.


    This last snow event was an example of the weather Gods not being kind to the Red River Valley. Grand Forks has the worst weather. Of course.

    The National Weather Service moved from Hector to Grand Forks in 1997. How did the North Dakota and Fargo politicians let that happen?

    The Grand Forks Flood happened in 1997.

    Higher Powers out there? Decided for yourself.
    Dorgan got it moved - the problem was only 1 meteorologist was willing to move too and so you have almost zero experience in forecasting flooding. GF leadership swallowed their poor forecasting and didn't plan for a higher crest.

    Dorgan was doing a lot of things with earmarks not long after that.

    No one was willing to move to GF eh. Any truth to this story? Fargo insurance company who did like 75% of there business in Grand Forks County couldn't get one of there agent's to move to GF.

    GF not highly thought of down south.
    What is surprising UND more enrollment than NDSU. All online? I suppose. With all the growth and new things and West Acres for the girls. You would think SU would be kicking but.

    Maybe that's coming. Dan

    I just read the other day that when Lake Agassiz drained 8500 years ago it added between 3 and 9 feet to global sea levels and my have been responsible for the abandonment of early settlements in post glacial Scotland.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    There is a hypothesis that the draining of the lake caused a massive disruption to the ocean currents and caused a "global cooling event" that lasted centuries. Although I found an article today in Science that downplays that idea.

    Don’t know about global, but the notion that a massive injection of fresh water into the Atlantic shuts down the Gulf Stream and puts Europe in the deep freeze is not a new one.
