Agreed, but why specifically include Scilly in the warnings?, it's not
part of Cornwall after all. It was quite a talking point here - with
people expecting not just snow on the Islands, bit a lot of it (as 60%
chance of disruption implies).
Our main 'warning' area is Strathclyde which is subdivided when there
are area variations into 'counties'. We are in Argyll and Bute but
sufficiently close to E Dunbartonshire to make it worth looking at that
for a forecast. Last night we were due to have 'severe' winds from 21:00
onwards. Again, it didn't happen.
Why bother to forecast at the county level at all when it would be quite
adequate to talk about 'some places' in W.Scotland?
