I can't totally agree with Martin, here, although I do think the early
predictions were good. But as far as the BBC goes they were still predicting
blizzards well inland and spreading into Essex and Kent with major
disruption to rush hour traffic.The AA said noone should venture out in East
Anglia and Scotland was virtually cut off according to News 24! This was at
1.00 am last night. Well a bunch of amateurs and ex pros on here were
looking at the NW winds and the radar tracking the showers on the edge and
out to sea and saying it wouldn't happen. Who got 15cm? Maybe Hull and
Norwich. They were also showing archive footage of last years snow to try
and justify it. I think in the evening the warnings should have been toned
down to "mainly right on the coast, some areas will miss it altogether etc".
But as you say, that's the media for you.
