[kw-pm] another intro.

[Daniel R. Allen]

Simon- did you get a chance to meet the guys from The Weather Channel?  I
sat next to them at the banquet dinner.

I don't know if it's common knowledge, but they confirmed for me that yes,
the satellite weather maps they show every 10-15 minutes come with data
for Canada, and the very last step when the Weather Channel is producing
the visuals (for the US market)  they airbrush the Canada content out.

But their website info is much more complete.

When I'm in the States I hate having to extrapolate the weather here from
Detroit and Buffalo. :-(
