Default Thanks met office for wrecking my Christmas

These rubbish warnings disrupt lives. We were supposed to have the in-laws
stay for a few days over Christmas but the warnings about Tuesdays snow
meant they cancelled their plans. So what snow did we get and on the route
they would have took? Bugger all



Then there were yesterday's warnings about today so we cancelled our plans
to see relations. So did we get the 15cm of snow that was promised? No
bugger all again. Our neighbour who said he takes these warnings now with a
pinch of salt went on his merry way on his 100-mile journey and reports that
he had no problems.



The problem is that people are starting to take no notice of these warnings,
as the dire warnings of doom do not materialize. No doubt one day we will
all get caught out.
