I'll make a little assumption that this post is in response to the one
that I posted titled 'I thougth it was meant to be windy today?'
It was a point on which to muse, a question, the ? at the end is a
question mark.

I think that one or two peolple need to calm down a little, take a
tablet if it helps.

I never actually said that the Met'O was wrong to put out their
warnings - I thought that it was beyond dispute that they should - and
for what it is worth the forecasting of the event was very good,
particularly its track across the Atlantic.

The central point was, were the warnings (and the media hype)
suggestive of an even windier event? especially for my part of the
world.
Then moving on, what would be the base line for putting out warnings?
Clearly I think that they are not needed for icy pavements and 2-5cm
of snow - this info' can surely be part of the forecast? (a point made
by someone else.)

I also went on to say that in general the Met'O do a good job.

Just thought I should clarify.
-----------------
I wouldn't worry - I think it was just agreeing with Ken's comments
rather than criticising yours. We save the real moans up for when the
snow warnings go wrong ;-)
