    A new app I picked up a couple of weeks ago predicted *3 days in advance* that it would snow today. It is indeed snowing right now.

    My flabber is officially ghasted. A weather prediction that was accurate! :eek:

    Next there will be machines which can fly!

    A little touch of Semtex and it'll all be gone.

    It's on the play store, called "weather" (hugely original I know) and it's by "smart-pro android apps" (who seems a touch over-excited by things) of Vietnam.

    Obviously it's not him providing the weather forecast, but whichever weather service he's leeching from, they seem to be doing rather better than the Met-Office weather warnings at the moment.
