I recently drew attention to the positive decisions that were made
during the airport fogs - the forecasters then were spot on. On New
Year's Eve, equally positive decisions have been made. The time was
- and not all that many years go - when no-one really paid any
attention to weather forecasters. I for one am pleased that
forecasters are at long last being trusted.


They were still planning to go ahead at Edinburgh until 3 hours before
midnight, despite dire weather forecasts for that part of the country...
