What I find quite fascinating is that there is obviously a firm belief
in the office that this may come off.

It was only a 65% chance this morning

We always get this kind of thing at this time a year from various
weather forecasting 'authorities' which shall remain nameless
but we all know who they are.....
However I don't remember the Met Office ever being even as
sure as this, even though it's still quite a guarded response.
Usually they (quite rightly IMHO) refuse to be be drawn citing the
fact that the winter is too far off for any meaningful forecast to
be made.
