Yes where is my &*%ing snow, just checked with UKMO and the clowns have been
adamant since last night about snow for the SE from midday tomorrow, why
they even updated this afternoon yet now its gone. Why the bloody hell can't
they provide a proviso with this charts based on probability what a load of
morons. By the ways that's a lot of words begining with 'P' and ****ed-off
is anaother one.

Saw the BBC Look East Forecast at 18:55 and she showed that snow band
moving across us in a line NW / SE, as if it was a front moving up
from the SW, this was shown over the whole of Essex at the end of the
run.

Seems that everyone is interpreting this thing differently.

Gone? What are you looking at that makes you think that? If it's one of
their maps with the sun, cloud and snow symbols, we've discussed before
that these are best ignored. They seem to be generated by a not very
satisfactory piece of software. Much better to go with the text
forecasts and the Weather Warnings, which at least are produced by human
forecasters.

The current forecast for the SE:

Headline:
Very cold and icy. Some snow at times on Saturday.

This Evening and Tonight:
Another very cold night with long clear spells at first. Ice remaining
on untreated surfaces. Some snow showers are likely to affect southern
parts of the region later in the night. Minimum temperature -10 °C.

Saturday:
Soon becoming cloudy with some outbreaks of snow, perhaps heavy at
times, spreading in during in the morning and lasting into the
afternoon. Remaining very cold. Maximum temperature 2 °C.
Updated: 1907 on Fri 17 Dec 2010

And the Weather Warning, valid from 1am to 10pm tomorrow for areas
including Greater London:

A band of heavy snow is expected to move eastwards across parts of
England and Wales during Saturday. 5-10 cm of snow is expected widely,
with the possibility of up to 20 cm accumulating in places, especially
inland. Rain and sleet is more likely on some coastal fringes.
Please note there are continued uncertainties about amounts and extent
of snowfall, but there is the potential for widespread disruption to
travel networks and sporting events.
Please monitor the Met Office website for possible updates to this
warning.

If it is so uncertain than surely those useless weather web pages at UKMO
can just say that. No instead they spew this crap out as if its written in
stone I'm really cheesed of with this. Today at work I showed a colleague
the UKMO forecast so he could advise his wife to call of a function in Kent.
I would really like to find the nerd who put those pages together and give
him/her a virtual slap. the blithering bloody idiots.

Yes forecasting is difficult so why bloody try without factoring in
uncertainty

But surely my point is John, if you suggest they are best ignored then why
display the montages of garbage in the first place-what purpose do they
serve?

So are you saying that people shouldn't look at UKMO say on this page
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html

Shouldn't really bother as there is a dollop of uncertainty . Okay two
points: what's the point then in showing this stuff
and where on that page does it talk about uncertainty?

Please have a look and then point it out to me but I must warn you I won't
wait up.

Do what I do Lawrence and ignore the crap they put out!
I take the warnings for this area with a pinch of salt, rarely do they come
off, so what is the point?
This morning the warnings said we would be having 5 to 25cms here over the
next few days but looking
at the recent forecasts we'll be lucky to get 2 cms
Another mega hyped event down the pan!
Loved the BBC NEWS tonight 'many places hit by heavy snow', err a few places
hit by heavy snow!
I can't wait for tomorrows headline when I wake up to my half a centimetre
of snow

Oh dear I did think there was a chance of some of the snow developing just
to the north west reaching the north west midlands but the met office have
put us back on orange alert.
So that's the end of that then
