Well once we've removed the "oh it's going to be the worse thing ever"
factor.
We then subtract the litigious bias.
Tweak the "amber lights" what a fantastic disaster we've averted yet again,
for Blair's a jollygoodfellow, drift.

I think that then and only then we can safely predict f%ck all snow worth
mentioning. Unless of course 0.75 cm of wet melting snow on a car roof in
isolated parts of the country, is now classed as severe Siberian -steady
Norman- type Arctic freezing cold experience which causes the penguins to
leave inaccurate media reporting for the welcomed waters of the Southern
Hemisphere.

Bloody "less than 30% chance across that large middle bit of the country ".

Summed up perfectly Lawrence!

Really surprises me that the Daily Express haven't hit us with the
'worst blizzards in living memory' headline or is that still to come?

It pays to go a read the individual warnings. For the ones down the east
coast it is only coastal areas that are affected and not all of them. For
example the warning that colours "Northen England" red is only applicable
to Cleveland and Redcar a very small area...

Dear all,

I'm 14 miles from the NE coast at the nearest point (just south of
Peterlee). The sun hasn't yet been obscured by clouds for more than a
few minutes so far today and we haven't had any wintry precipitation at
all. In fact it hasn't snowed at all this month. We had sleet
yesterday, but that was all.

The wind also has a North Westerly component, presumably that is why
nothing is coming inland.

Regards,

Dave.

Oddly, the Advance Warning posted yesterday and supposedly to be updated
this morning, has disappeared without trace. It seems unlikely that
conditions are now expected to be so benign from tomorrow on that it's
no longer required, but surely it can't just have been overlooked?

It was updated I read it. Remember the advance warnings contain words to
the effect of "this will be updated by x on y unless superceeded by flash
warnings". So once the flash warnings start to appear the advance warning
disappears, seems logical?

It must have disappeared within a few hours after that.

Only if the flash warnings cover the whole period and the whole area
that was covered by the Advanced Warning, which in this case they
didn't.
