Does anyone have the contact information for the admin of ntp1.twc.weather.com?
It seems to have missed the leap second.  Presumably ntp2 is in the same boat. 
Maybe somebody could drop them a line.

ntpq -p 216.106.191.253

Also, the NTP Wiki Server entry for time.twc.weather.com has what appears to be
an old IP.  "nslookup time.twc.weather.com" returns both ntp1 and ntp2, but
neither is the listed IP.

I suspect one second has no practical impact on weather forecasting, but they
are predicting a sunny weekend here.
