Time for a weather website comparison?
I use:
TAFS & METARS: AWC - ADDS METARs
Winds Aloft: IFFDP - FD Wind C
Same, but geographical: MET'MAP - ORBIFLY FLIGHT SCHOOL - IFR ET CPL AMERICAIN EN EUROPE - FAA IFR AND CPL IN EUROPE
General overview: Yr ? Weather forecast for Popham, England (United Kingdom)
Unusual but useful: Form to request gramet aero
Satellite: Infrared satellite images of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Clouds in Norway, Sweden, Denmark at night and in the evening. Weather Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Satellite Weather Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Rain in Norway, Sweden, Denmark - SAT24.com
Greenland: Greenland Weather Map
And for notams: https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/PilotWeb/
Perhaps some of these are useful for others, perhaps others have better ones?
Safe flights, Sam.

I find this one quite useful for the UK pressure patterns etc., on top of the MET Office GA info.

An icing forecast that hasn't been mentioned yet and which I have found to be pretty accurate:

Lets you check METAR, TAF and NOTAMs worldwide for both airports and FIRs, as well as weather radar for the Nordic countries (Under the 'Briefing' tab at the top of the page). You can also file flight plans there.

Does anyone know if the www.ippc.no site allows flight plans that are completely outside Norway?

You do have to call the AIS office at Oslo airport to confirm your flight plans after you've filed them. The phone number is +47 64 81 90 00
They are also very helpful on the phone. I've filed entire flight plans on the phone from the car on the way to the airfield.

Aviation Weather >> Europe > AVWX.info > metar taf sigmet notam winds aloft significant weather information is a useful compendium of European sources. Ignore the home page advertising and go through the drop down at top left.
This used to be the old euro.wx.propilot site.

Clearly not weather, but a really nice graphic display of UK notams:
