Default Why do so many forecasters never admit getting it wrong?

Yes and later there was a " somewhat more snow than expected" but it was
probably worse than that. As Col pointed out it was such a good opportunity
to explain that the weather isn't totally predictable and a brief
explaination of what caused the snow might have been useful, because I'm
still not that sure.

To be fair the NW Tonight forecast admitted that there was a lot more
snow than they had ever forecast.
However I didn't see anything like this in the BBC national forecast.


I did, and I only watched one forecast - on BBC News 24 - late this
afternoon. The BBC W/C presenter pointed out clearly that the snow
didn't follow the script... and everyone knew what that meant. Credit
where credit is due (for the admission).
