I was criticising Radio Scotland and GMTV for the use of the term heavy wind

heavy wind.Today I thought, what about light wind - that is ok. Am i just a
weather nazi or is heavy wind wrong?


When being struck by such gusts, they do feel heavy (-:
It does sound wrong though, but probably isn't.


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


You could call it 'storm ten' if it actually was one. Or 'the weather' of
course. I shall call it 'light breeze' as that is all that happened here.
