The coldest weather in years next they say thanks

[Woodworks]

At the w'end we were warned about blizzards and and such. Barely got below 5 C's here just south of London - never a flake of sleet.

 

I really think the met office have succumbed to "blame culture" - they over dramatise every remote possibility so that they can't get blamed for warning about something happened. I think every forecaster has the ghost of Fish haunting them...

 

"Today there might be rain, sun, tornadoes, ice-storms, heatwaves, ice, fog and indian summers, and tomorrow it might be the same, or different."

 

Of course the gritters were out anyway getting their overtime and spending our taxes on vehicles, diesel and spanish salt... and making the roads as slippery "as ice" with the overload of grit, and rotting our cars from the anodic and hygroscopic effect, making driving hazardous because windscreens become opaque with a film of NaCl...

 

grrrrr.

 

Not sure the Met office have made any wild claims. On the whole I think they are pretty good but the press on the other hand

Not looking so cold now Jon. Maybe a bit chilly but nothing more than that down here in the south west.

I find the bbc 5 day is normally spot on for next day yet the 10 day gets it completely wrong even next day ? I like the format as its plain and simple like me. Looks like we are in for some nice frosty weather and the phone has started ringing already.

Simon does really accurate forecasts without the sensationalism.

Very difficult to say this without sounding bad but I do tend to nod off half way through.
