GEM: Very strong, cold westerlies with polar maritime air

All that can reasonably deduced from that lot is that, on the basis
of current

unforecastable to any useful level of reliability at present. Long may that

I can't work out how to post to a newsgroup with Thunderbird to
replying to you Norman.

It looks like you've managed it.


Would I be right in thin king that Weatheronline expert maps (the only
source of detailed weather charts I know) have been pulled today to
scupper anyone using them commercially as its the first signigicant
weather of the winter?

Isn't it more likely that the current weather has led to such a high
load on their site that their server couldn't cope?
