Default Oxfordshire council *extremely* angry over 'unexpected' snowfall

Unexpected snow across Oxfordshire has led to criticism of the Met Office by the county council. Deputy leader councillor Rodney Rose said there were no warnings in the overnight forecast and it was their own road sensors which first alerted them.

The Met Office said the situation was "finely balanced" and warnings were put in place in the early hours. FULL STORY: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...shire-21821820 -- Regards, Paul
