He does'nt bother more as he distracts you from those awefull
graphics !

I have to admit, I'm getting used to the graphics now.
If you can keep an eye on your region and the time, following the
rain/cloud patterns for your area gives you a better 'feel' of the
expected progression of the day's weather than the old static
symbols ever could. Indeed, I am less inclined now to 'translate'
the new graphics into wahat the ols ones would have been

Having said that, the alien invasion fleet that appears whenever
there are strong winds expected still looks silly and the lack of
synoptic charst (apart from Countryfile) is still woeful.

One thing I am looking forward to this winter is how they will deal
with snow events and more importantly rain/snow transition areas.
I wonder if we will be able to resolve more detail than with the old
graphics.


Tis funny, but I think the regional forecasts seem to be better. I can only
go from what I can see from Look North's Paul Hudson and Lisa Gallagher, but
the local ones are somewhat useful....
