Default O doubting Thomases!

Might as well have not bothered then eh? The Met Office made a big issue of
snow in the East, they got it wrong because they issued a weather warning to
all eastern counties of heavy snow with up to 6" possible. Does 0" count as
a successful outcome to areas 15 miles inland?

We ended up with 4 inches of level snow and 3 ft drifts. A few miles

away
cars were abandoned in the snow drifts.
Some apologies to the Met O are due I think!

Yes, but if there was a 50% chance of snow in West Yorkshire and
Yorkshire got nothing, that is a perfectly good forecast on the face of
it.
