Back a few years ago I was snooping to see if we could get Canadian
weather alerts added into the mix. I kind of ran into a roadblock for
that back then. The best I got was to have the local severe weather
meteorologist in the area set up a forwarding rule in Outlook to send
the weather alert email messages he got to me.

I wouldn't mind getting a little drink from the deep end to see if I
can find a source in Canada again. A little background and sample data
from the USA to show the locals might help.
