One aspect doesn't ever seem to get a mention. Nowadays,
"authorities" (whoever they might be) believe weather forecasters.
I recently drew attention to the positive decisions that were made
during the airport fogs - the forecasters then were spot on. On New
Year's Eve, equally positive decisions have been made. The time was
- and not all that many years go - when no-one really paid any
attention to weather forecasters. I for one am pleased that
forecasters are at long last being trusted.

Just as well it has been cancelled if the Skynews cameraman's quoted
fireworks tonnage in that article is correct

John

lol yes. I believe eight was nearer the mark; still what's 1992 tonnes of
fireworks between friends :-)

They were still planning to go ahead at Edinburgh until 3 hours before
midnight, despite dire weather forecasts for that part of the country...

But you can perhaps see why ... looking at the 20z analysis light
winds are not that far to the north of Edinburgh! Unfortunately no
metars available for Dundee.

Nice and calm here near the 976 around the centre of the low - moving away
nicely - perhaps a quietish night after all.
