Thank you. I filed an RFE on the Easterly and Westerly components to
have them renamed to something more descriptive. I suggested
FromTheEast and FromTheWest but I do not know how keen on CamelCase
climatologists are.

As for the fog, that was closed as WORKSFORME within seconds of being
opened. I countered that the bug could not be reliably triaged at
night, I was them promptly banned from climatezilla.

As for burning the furniture, I suggest that we simply forego the
restaurant and meet at Shlomi's place. Shomi, does the couch have
enough wood to keep up warm the whole night w^w^w^w^w^w^w is the couch
big enough for all of us? Is there adequate ventilation (Shlomi posts
on /., so maybe not).
