Are you sure you are not on www.metcheck.co.uk by mistake? My log in to www.metcheck.com still has free forecast (with a premium option - same as before) |

That is the weather feed site available via the "other" menu option: http://labs.metcheck.com/ - http://labs.metcheck.com/ Perhaps c**k up in an update ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7862840.stm - a la google on saturday ) or problem due to heavy traffic as a result of the snow. |
