God only knows if anyone in Vancouver ever found the weather forecasts
in this newsgroup useful.  I can see that the umich service from which
they were obtained would be useful for getting info. for other parts of
the world, but for local weather the recorded message at 664-9010 always
was more timely.

It was van-bc.wimsey.bc.ca (or is that vanbc now?) which used to poll
umich for the forecasts, by the way.  If you ask politely, I'm sure
Stuart Lynne (who runs that site) will enlighten us as to why he canned
the cron job that did the polling.
