Slightly off topic unless you are interested in comparing what other
countries' met offices web sites are like compared to UKMO. This is for Canada - if you've not seen it, the presentation, explainations and what you get for free is terrific.The forecasts and info for UK sites looked accurate and well presented as well. http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/canada_e.html Dave |

Yep I agree - one of those sites I check on daily, only because of the extremes of weather they have. Check on a place called Alert, -35c - don't imagine many people live their but they may have problems starting their snowmobiles in the morning ! cheers -- Paul Crabtree Brampton N.E.

I was out in Regina (Saskatchewan) last winter when the temp was down
at -30C. (wind-chill -40C at times) What was strange was how normal everything was. Its a modern city of 250 000, shopping malls, normal sorts of cars on the roads etc. (Very little snow on the ground - its right in the heart of the Canada so dry). It was very easy to get lulled into a false sense of security about the weather and forget that frostbite was a serious hazard everytime you went out. ..And tough luck if you didn't remember to plug the engine block heater in when you parked the car. (That's when I began to appreciate wind chill warnings on the weather forecast - not like the BBC!) Chris Gadsby "John Hall" wrote in message ...
