weather maps

I'm not sure where Leeds is in a whole mystical cartography - but it must be blessed somehow with being just beyond the reach of earthquakes, storms, floods, high winds ... perhaps that is why it never shows up on the BBC telly weather maps, which always seem to take perverse pleasure in showing York, Sheffield, Wakefield, Huddersfield but not Leeds, forcing us Leodeans to approximate the weather (not difficult - it'll likely be wet, best take a cardy and carry a brolly). We don't have any stone circles near us - that I'm aware of - indeed, if there is a candidate for a more prosaic, earth-bound spot in the whole of the UK, I'd like to see it.
