Local Weather For Local People? Not any more if the Met Office have

Well, as much as I sympathise, I don't think it necessarily follows that you
have to be in Aberdeen to forecast the weather in the Cairngorms, in today's
age of satellites.

Unless of course all the staff in the Met Office's Centre Of Excellence were
employed to look out the window and see if the cows were lying down or not.
I accept that being local would be advantagious in that scenario.
