I've tried to set things up so that we get the four daily forecasts. They
are supposed to be available at 5:00, 11:00, 15:00 and 19:00. 

I did notice that they where not available from the Weather Underground over
the weekend...

Someone else pointed out that it may also be available from uvic via gopher.
So I'll see if that is a better source.

Still only one comment (pro) on whether to keep the postings large (i.e. 
Coastal BC and Interior BC forecasts) or to split them up into the smaller 
ones.
