Oh Stephen for goodness' sake note the "could". Can't you interpret his forecasts properly?

Meanwhile in my first forecast at Dixon Agreeable Weather Solutions, I reveal how London tomorrow could have 6 inches of snow.

I consider myself rightfully upbraided. I think I must have got confused by the inclusion also of the word "definitely". I should start using that phraseology in my own forecasts: "definitely could" is a tremendous get-out from a busted forecast if one is also implying "certainly might not".

By the way, two things about the meeting: since when was heckling considered so laudable anyway? And it fails to mention the chuckling that rippled around the room.

Stephen.
