One aspect doesn't ever seem to get a mention. Nowadays,

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...

winds are not that far to the north of Edinburgh! Unfortunately no
metars available for Dundee.
