It's not actually the Met Office that's been banding about dire
warnings though is it Ron. They seem to be getting it right
regionally and have only said rain, sleet and wet snow for most
except in parts of the North where the snow has been..
Still I got enough flakes earlier this evening for it to be a "snow
falling day" :-)

The warnings aren't the problem; yet again it's the presenters going
overboard about it being "bitterly cold." Yes, it's windy but combining
that with temperatures barely below average doesn't warrant the use of
such extreme terminology.
