On the Andrew Marr show, she included my old station, Wattisham, as one
that probably misreported the snow depth.

Regardless of whether the depths are correct or not, surely she shouldn't
come on national TV and say that these observations are made by the Met
Office and then imply that the staff don't know what they're doing.



I agree, it's unprofessional behaviour.
She said it a second time later on as well.
However if she had doubts as to the data's validity,
why did she use it in the first place? Surely she must
have a degree of input as to what statistics she uses
in the forecast. It's not like she's some regional ITV
'dolly bird' type who doesn't actually know anything
about the weather and will just be spoon-fed the info.
