Apparently this is a regular feature on Radio 2 between 7:30 and 8am
on Saturdays. He's not restricted to talking about the latest
forecast. Yesterday the DJ (who came across as intelligent and
commendably interested in the weather, so it's a pity I can't
remember his name) was asking him how snow depths are measured.

Jim Bacon has long been one of my favourite weather
forecasters/presenters, but it had been ages since I last heard him.
He manages to be enthusiastic without falling into the trap of
sensationalism.

Jim is fantastic. My all time favourite, up there with John Kettley.
