Default unexpected snowfall

Two bad forecasts from the MO in as many days, what next?

MET OFFICE STATEMENT ON UNEXPECTED SNOWFALL
MET OFFICE News Release issued by the Government News Network on 14
January 2004


PA WeatherCentre are clearly being extremely magnanimous, not
rubbing salt into this one ... their media forecasts issued mid-morning
yesterday included sleet at low levels and snow over higher ground,
while their local authority forecasts (for gritting) gave 5-10cm for
Powys, and probability of wet snow for Northants, Bucks, Herts,
Cambs, etc.

Clearly, not unexpected to everyone.
