I noticed tonight's extended BBC forecast wasn't going for anything very
cold in the next 5-10 days which surprised me. Just emphasised cold

Its cos theyre utterly f*ing clueless and are too scared to go beyond a few days costheyll get egg on their faces yet again


Talking of utterly clueless, here is the forecast that Piers issued for 12-16th Dec 2014....

Heavy snow and blizzards. Thundersnow, turning EXTREMELY COLD in
Scotland and NE England. DEEP SNOW likely in E+NE (espec) England &
South Scotland. Airports lkely disuprted inc Heatheow + Gatwick. Small
clarifications 45d re deeper snow"

UK map - most of UK except N Scotland and W Ireland "HEAVY SNOW,
BLIZZARDS, prob heaviest in East and NE parts FEET OF SNOW IN PARTS,
East parts inc London + SE. Becoming extremely cold"

Oh dear, didn't happen did it? Completely hopeless.
That's not just egg on face, it's a whole omelette...

He won't reply. piers doesn't like returning to his mountain of totally crap forecasts. He prefers to return to the few that he is certain to get correct (law of averages).
