Default Forecasts up the spout!

Hi Everyone,

Over the last few days all the forecasters have been banging on about a
'major snow event' wednesday night into thursday but nothing more after
that. The reality of the situation is that the wed/thurs snow turned out to
be a big disappointment for a lot of snow-loving people. Now here we are on
friday - a day described as a much quieter day just yesterday by the BBC -
and what's it doing - it's snowing like bilio !

I do realise that snow can be notoriously difficult to forecast accurately
but I'd be very interested to hear everyones thoughts about the last 2 days'
weather - especially the fact that todays snow was completely unforecast
just 24 hours ago - maybe the first front was just a decoy for today's
weather :-)

We had plenty of snow Weds/Thu night as forecast. Today we had some
light snow this morning and now it is raining. South Oxon.

I notice the metoffice issued a severe weather warning for Oxon/Bucks/W
Berkshire this morning for heavy snow. That hasn't materialised here.
