I was criticising Radio Scotland and GMTV for the use of the term heavy wind
and heavy gusts yesterday - ie that you can have heavy rain/snow etc but not
heavy wind.Today I thought, what about light wind - that is ok. Am i just a
weather nazi or is heavy wind wrong?

Another thought, what will yesterdays storm be called, it cant be just the
18th of jan 2007 storm can it?

On the other side of the coin you get "heavy seas" but I don't think
I've ever seen reference to "light seas" :-)
