Weather Forecast

Anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors will know the importance of a good weather forecast. Last Saturday's forecast on most websites was for wind, snow, and generally horrible weather. It didn't happen - but then I wasn't expecting it to. Why? Because I'd looked at the surface pressure charts, and they had forecast pretty much what we experienced.

Today was a similar situation. The BBC were warning of snow and fog, but Mountain Weather Information Service (IMO the best forecast around) were telling me that the fog would be restricted to the valleys, and the sun would be out. Had it not been for that, I may have missed out on today and stayed in bed.
