On BBC News 24 at 10 a.m. Susan Powell used terminology I haven't heard
before. She said that tonight the south will see some more 'heavy wintry
flurries'.

One of the meanings of 'flurry' in my dictionary is 'a light snowfall',
so can we expect heavy light snowfalls?!

I know TV presentation isn't an easy job, but .............. I despair :-(

Weather forecasts recently have lapsed into hyperbole, and the news is
following along by reporting those events which although forecast did
not really happen.

Thus one can tune in to get a forecast of what will not happen, and then
watch the news to see how bad it wasn't ... or so ...
