As we slide into the umpteenth mild winter and there is not much to excite
our members (if you'll excuse the expression)
what do we think of those newspaper daily weather reports from abroad
faithfully churned out every day from such exotic far flung places as
Bogata ,Caracas,Edmonton (probably not the N.19 one) Leipzig, Marrakech,
Santiago, Taipei, to mention just a few.
I suspect they were some of the favourite holiday haunts of the pre war
newspaper editors perpetuated by generations of
cub reporters who aren't too sure where Southend even is..
So I propose a competion should be held through this NG to come up with
new
resorts much more in keeping with the todays travelling public needs .
I 'll kick off with Verkhoyansk,always wanted to go there .............

Happy New Year to all

PS Please God , let it snow for Danny

I suggest Vostok Antarctica. Should sort out even the most avid cold/snow
lovers of this NG. Latest 5 day forcast for the middle of summer shown
below:

Wed
-9° | -29°
Overcast

Thu
-7° | -29°
Clear

Fri
-9° | -27°
Partly Cloudy

Sat
-9° | -31°
Scattered Clouds

Sun
-9° | -20°
Partly Cloudy

And if that's not enough for anyone, a cool -89.4°C has been reached in
winter (July 23 1983, when IIRC, we were in the middle of a heatwave). Bit
dark in the winter, but never mind it's more than made up for in the summer.
