Excatly, what if they only forecasted rain or sleet (and didn't bother
to put out any warning at all) but the mild air struggled to get in,
with the cold air hanging on, and many places got a dumping of snow.

With blocked roads, accidents, people trapped in their cars

It seems the public are out to hang the Met O no matter what they do

The city of Houston was evacuated because of Hurricane Rita
But the storm steered a little to the right, and they only got a
glancing blow
Millions evacuated. I don't hear them crying out for blood.
They may have felt disappointed at being forced out. but that area was
under a Hurricane Warning, and there was a high risk of the city
getting hit.

It would have been a major disaster, if they all stayed, and Rita went
ploughing right in there, as a Major Hurricane



That was a bit different. If we just avoided a major blizzard the likes of
what we had in 1979, 1982, 1985, 1987 I don't think people would have been
so ****ed off.
