Default Monster Freeze!!

A friend of mine pointed out another pathetic piece of hype in the Sun
newspaper this time. The story told of a monster freeze in the next few
days with temperatures plunging!!
Who writes this crap?
More to the point who allows this crap to be printed??
I have put everyone at ease who may be have been worried by the story by
telling them it's February, Winter's over (at least until March) and if
anything the temperature will be rising over the next few days.

Graham. I can assure you that you have not put everyone at ease, because the
first question I would ask is how are you any better qualified at saying it
wont happen than the person who said it would.

Think about it???
I dont wish to appear to be pedantic, but do any of us really know???

Best regards. Len.

I would thing that the majority in this group do 'really know' on this
occasion and are better qualified than the 'Sun' reporter. Who it was he
probably misquoted is something we'll never know.

Mr Fish got it totally wrong within six hours in October 87. and how long
has he been in the game?
However John I do take your point along with Grahams and I do respect yours
and other posters views on this group.
As since first reading this newsgroup I have gained a wealth of knowledge,
and thank all of you for that.
Best regards.

A Met Office spokesman, no less. Frost on the windscreeen - wow !
Plummeting temperatures - amazing !

About the only thing The Sun gets right is the size of Jordan's t*ts -
not fit to be fish-andchip paper.

Actually Weatherman you could be right.. if something drastic happened to
the sun, moon, earth etc. Or an Asteroid hit us etc. Something on that
scale.
But if everything remained in sync, no, the computer models are too accurate
over 48 hours... e.g they would be able to pick up such a major development
with ease, in the situation we are in *at the moment* .. e.g strong blocking
high etc.
Of course, if we were in a different pattern .. e.g. October 87, that would
be different.
