This has happened every winter for years and is seen as a proxy for over fearful weather warnings when in fact the is hardly any reflection of reality. In all honesty you and others see the warnings all the time and do you think they reflect the actual weather that was experienced


But what do you do when, say, there's a 10% chance of roads becoming treacherous? Ignore altogether? They're on a hiding to nothing (or to 10%).

Its the way its phrased Richard. Why not just say there's a 10% chance and let people decide. I've noticed of late other people starting to feel these weather warnings are OTT but it seems you've all jumped on me , maybe its because I'm an idiot, eh?
