Is it just a British thing when our media seems to exaggerate on every
aspect when reporting various weather events? Like we see the poor reporter
out on the village green up to their ankles in snow to tell us just how bad
it is, or standing on a motorway bridge in driving rain and a gale hanging
on for dear life trying to emphasise to us all how bad it is.

And when there is a decent snowfall, why are we always told there is worse
to come before it gets better, when more often than not nothing further
happens.

We keep reading reports about Aviemore recording -18 C. So what, it quite
often is at that altitude and I am sure that reporters get sent up there
just to overcook and sensationalise the whole affair.
Come on, lets be a little more realistic in the reporting, I for one am not
impressed by the sensationalism created concerning these events. After all,
it is winter.

The Media I expect but UKMO is just as bad,
