The conditions over the mountain look perfect. Is the forecast still bad? Are conditions elsewhere bad?

I think it's a case of dam*ed if they do or dam*ed if they don't.

The weather was awful all morning and has only just cleared a bit up top, but it could easily be pea soup again in 5 mins time.

If only we had a Tardis to be able to tell what the fickle Manx weather is going to do, but sadly we ain't got one and neither do the powers-that-be.

Ronaldsway Met Office does a very good job forcasting the weather, but even they are not infallible - they are human beings like the rest of us here.

I think the organisers had / have a very difficult job to do. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but the decision to postpone has been made and there's nothing we can do now to change it.

On the other hand, let's all hope that we get a decent window of clear weather AND sufficient marshals to be able to have racing to go ahead tomorrow.
