Dear Sir
While it is great that you post on this group ,it is a uk
weather
group and I feel you should be posting on your own countries site.I know
we have the Brussels and Greek guy and the same could be said for them .It
does gaul me a bit when you are constantly talking snow in winter and we
have so little .Comments please.


Jim, the charter for the group says: "This group is essentially for the
discussion of daily weather events, chiefly affecting the UK and adjacent
parts of Europe, both past and predicted."

Note "chiefly" rather than "exclusively".

In reference to this, the FAQ says: "It is worth pointing out that the area
embraced by the phrase 'adjacent parts of Europe' has grown to include
Australasia and North America! As long as it's interesting weather, and
within the context of the rest of the Charter, then that has come to be
accepted as OK!"

I don't think anyone can deny that Bob's weather is "interesting", as indeed
are his posts, in my opinion.
