Hi, Ken.

Understood.

The current provider is indeed MeteoGroup, which is, er, where I work! And,
again with respect, and not wishing to to step far down this particular
path, please don't assume that it's about cost! You've just seen for
yourself how effective were Durham CC's (and farmers') actions allied with
the forecasts. It's those forecasts on which the salting and ploughing
actions are taken.

Hi, Stephen,
As soon as I hit send I realised that my statement was ambiguous! Didn't
mean what it looked like yet again (:0). I imagined a certain JM would be
cursing me at MeteoGroup! He gave us an excellent illustration at our NE
Metsoc group of what you do by the way. Anyway, credit to all concerned.
Best wishes,
Ken
