DeleteI never saw weather maps stamps: so cool!

DeleteLove a weather map and we have access to so many nowadays all thanks to those supercomputers.
ReplyDeleteI think weather forecast is pretty accurate nowadays.
DeleteWeather map stamps are new to me too! Partly cloudy weather forecast for me on Monday, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sorry :|
DeleteThis is a great set of stamps, so nice that you received some.
ReplyDeleteI have received these two so far. I love them.

ReplyDeleteThe presenter is a plus :)
DeleteAlthough I was too young to remember her, I am sure I would have seen that presenter. I do remember the weather symbols they used to place on the map!
