Unfortunately, many localities with narrow band width cannot afford the luxury 
of including all the newsgroup.  In the Yukon, where we have some amazing 
weather, they have decided to exclude all "alt." newsgroups, so some locations 
will not be able to make contributions to alt.talk.weather

If you're interested, the Yukon is currently in the middle of a long and harsh 
cold snap.  Its been -40�C for more than two weeks and it will continue at 
least until Friday.  Locally temps have plumetted to less than -50�C.  This is 
unusual, mainly in duration, and rivals cold snaps of 1969 and 1941.  Even the 
old timers are shaking their heads.  Fortunately vehicles and systems work 
better now than they did during the olden days.  

An effect of the extreme cold is very dense Ice Fog, largely created by 
crystal vapours of vehicle exhaust.  Its so dense some days that the 737's 
from Vancouver don't have enough visual to land.
