Default Terminology in forecasts

Norman, don't watch them, seriously. Not so long ago I used to look forward to
the weather forecast and now I honestly don't care if I don't see it. If it's on
while I'm watching TV fine, I'll watch it, but I won't make an effort anymore,
not even for the countryfile one.

Will.

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
:-(
