Will, I can't find an exceptionally severe weather report on the Met Office
site. Is it still there?

FROM TUESDAY ONWARDS, ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST WHERE THERE IS A 30 PERCENT
RISK OF EXCEPTIONALLY SEVERE CONDITIONS WITH ACCUMULATIONS OF MORE THAN
15CM. DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AND SOME UNTREATED ROADS ARE
LIKELY TO BECOME IMPASSABLE.

I think the 100mph winds forecast for South-East a few weeks back was 40%
risk - so don't believe the above too much.

Ok thanks. I now see it was buried in the general weather warning issued.

Martin. Fate can throw up strange permutations and in this case odd bed
fellows.
Henman and severe cold weather?

Tim Henman winning a grand-slam and bitter arctic air dumping lots of snow
over the bulk of Britain?
Nah!!! It'll never happen.

Now about that roof on Wimbledon in the face of predicted drier summers.

With the change to a notable wintry type expected (whether snow-laden or
not, a significant change), I was listening to Radio 5 this morning with
more than usual interest for Bob Prichard's assessment (I assume it was
Bob - have yet to hear him this morning).

Instead, we got 'wall-to-wall' tennis: yet again, Tim Henman being
knocked out of a major competition.

Acting as a 'devil's advocate', I think I would be very annoyed if a major
tennis match was interupted at a possibly interesting point. The interval
between sets is less than 5 minutes so the beginning of the next set would
be missed.
With weather bulletins and updates abounding on many other sources, this
Radio 5 presentation must be something special for its absence to cause
problems.

It makes one wonder what the radio station called 'Five Live Sports Extra'
is for.

At the moment, it's for that small minority of the population who have
digital radio (or who can access it via their digital TV).

Rubbish, I listened to the commentary on the Liverpool v Newcastle FA cup
tie in my car this evening on a perfectly ordinary analogue car radio. Five
live broadcasts on Medium Wave, not even VHF FM, let alone digital.

Martin, read it again! The comment was regarding "Five Live Sports
Extra", which is a digital radio, Sky/NTL digital and internet
station. Five Live is what you were listening to, I suspect.

"Five Live" and "Five Live Sports Extra" are two completely different
stations.
