There has been some doubt cast but I think people have been much more
tolerant than with previous events. The realisation that snow is difficult
to predict, the Met Office have to make sure they're "not caught out" and
the stupidity of the media has helped.
I'm even think you Danny, once said "we never get any snow down here on a
Northerlies or NW" !!

Generally speaking the forecasts have been very poor, but most people in
this newsgroup have a decent understanding, and the slagging off has been
from a minority, and not regulars of this newsgroup.
Nice try Simon.

Various denizens of uk.sci.weather may have given the impression that
the
Met Office was talking nonsense and falsely hyping snowfall this week.

These wretches would like unreservedly to apologise and would like to
reassure all and sundry that there was not one scintilla of a truth in
any
of the unfair and premature slagging off of the Met Office and BBC
weather
forecasts which had correctly predicted snow.
