Excellent said, Jim. May I add only one thing to this. Several states include TC (temperature in �C) in their hourly reports. For an example of this, look at the Seattle's office of the NWS: http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/getproduct.pl?SEASEASWRWA. Most of these states seem to be confined to the U.S.-Canadian border. Cheers, Nikolay Vancouver, B.C., Canada I've always suspected that metrication starts in the north and works it's way south, mainly due to a 'domino' effect. Folk in northern states can pick up Canadian English-speaking stations which are metric-only, and papers/radio stations are more likely to include a few items with metric measures. Hopefully, as each state sees this, they will follow suit. We shall see! Regards Mike Joy Perth, Australia
