And to save you all time clicking on the link:

ISSUED BY THE MET OFFICE AT 09:00 ON FRIDAY, 31 DECEMBER 2004.

OVERALL RISK ASSESSMENT: THE PROBABILITY OF DISRUPTION DUE TO
SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS IN PART OF THE UNITED KINGDOM WITHIN THE
NEXT 72 HOURS IS 70 PERCENT.

You need the link to the Met Office page really, as it includes a
probability map and isn't all in upper case.

I can rarely be bothered to plough my way through long teleprinter
style messages. At least the Met Office published it in normal
sentence case - albeit with *abysmal* hard-to-read style - a 21 line
paragraph. Why oh why do they do this?
