Did I detect a note of sanity creeping into the 5-56 Radio 4 forecast
tonight ?,
Ms Young never once told us to watch out when we're out and about,no dire
warnings of deep freezes despite saying temps would below 0c in places
,and even a suggestion that there might be snow in the SouthEast(whoopee)
on Sunday,without a mention of 'not to travel unless our journeys were
absolutely necessary'.
Can it last ? mind, she must be feeling pretty tender after yesterday's
fiasco.......

Hopefully yours

Ron, when you say "yesterdays fiasco".
Did you mean the snow that was forecast,but never happened ?.
Or did you mean the Snow that wasn't forecast, but did happen ?

I saw a snippet on the TV local evening news where someone from Bromley
Council's Roads Dept was castigating the UKMO. One for giving the snow
forecast for Wednesday evening where something like 18-19 tons of salt/grit
was spread onto roads throughout the large borough of Bromley, yet it didn't
snow, and then giving no warning whatsover of last nights downpour
whatsoever!

The actual forecast that was on UKMO yesterday evening at around 8pm, when I
initially checked the radar images, was for a dry icy night. That forecast
remained at least until I went to bed at around 1 am. Now it started snowing
around 9pm right through the night, when I checked the radar, the
precipitation was there for all to see all through the night.
So what the hell were the UKMO staff doing?
If the rest of the world could log onto their site and see this, why
couldn't they?

Absolute madness.
