Default Stormtracker The Taxpayer Version

I just got my first spam from the Meteorological Office and Climategate:

It's hardly this:
http://earth.nullschool.net/#current....38,-90.83,377

It's not even this:
http://www.disaster-report.com/
Although it got the name of the storm wrong and the wrong location. But at least they have a decent map -even if it isn't theirs.

The spam version shown in the e-mail looked like an acceptable toy. It had a chart showing an IR weather chart.

On the half page that wasn't mostly but not all chart the advert had this to swy:

"Stormtracker


free of subscription


26th February


http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/w...storm-tracker/

any feedback"

The words "any feedback" were in a dark blue my blurry eyes couldn't read so I highlighted the text and found mo

"Stormtracker

Dear user,

Following a recent upgrade to StormTracker, we are providing the new service free of subscription. As a result you will no longer have access to the subscription based service you have previously used.
From the 26th February the old StormTracker pages will no longer be available. Instead, you can now access StormTracker without the need to log in, by simply following the link below:

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/w...storm-tracker/

We welcome any feedback on this service and would love to hear your thoughts on the new StormTracker.

Many thanks,"

Nice advertising, guys.

I don't think I have ever used Stormtracker and if the version I managed to open was an example of what is and has been available, I can't say I am surprised.

Where is the login page of the MetO&Cg?
