Having trouble getting onto the internet, need a stronger ADSL link, possibly?

Send Karen off TVNZ an email tonight informing her that Culverden temperatures should not feature on TVNZ weather as it was tonight, i sent her a link to the thread in which we discussed screen height.

Good to hear. Jim use to reply to emails but haven't emailed since he left. You probably need to tell MS though, as they are the ones who supply TVNZ.

Karen did reply back too
Ive had discussions with Steve Knowles who's network operations manager for the MetService, he did acknowledge that there were short comings with not only Culverden but other 'full in stations' as they are called. Tony and myself recently asked that the Hurunui Council fund install and an additional sensor,the reasoning being that any potential horticulture investment could be put at risk because of the incorrect data that the Culverden station is currently providing, though it would have lass effect for the agriculture sector.

Oh and -4.2 this morning :D
