There is no agreement in forecasts for Sunday in Wembury:
Met Office today (14th) is giving 40% chance of light snow at 1200 on Sunday 18th.
BBC MeteoGroup is giving for the same time 8% chance of rain, no mention of snow.

Snows just appeared on the MetO forecast for Penzance 15:00 on Sunday. But only 1 flake, 60% chance & +3C. Very different to 28th Feb sub zero blizzard I think.

The warnings were all for the 1st March, but it didn't compare with the 28th Feb down here, snow quantity & wind wise.

Forecast for Wembury issued 1400 Thurs 15th.
Met Office have been spreading their bet (to use a meteorological term) now:
Light snow anytime after 0900 on Sunday. 50% chance becoming 60%.
BBC Meteogroup have now come on board:
Light snow after 1400. 41% rising to 67% chance.

Saturday, 17th, 1000
Still no agreement between Met Office and Meteogroup
The latter gives 26% chance of light snow here this afternoon 1500.
Met office gives no snow until tomorrow morning 0500. 50% chance
Who are we to believe?

Time to assess at outcome.
Met Office 1 MeteoGroup 1
Concerning T+24 hr forecasts for Wembury:
Sat 17th, the snow from 1300 to 1500 was not forecast by Met Office.
It was forecast by Meteogroup.
Sun 18th, Meteogroup forecast heavy snow showers 0300 to 0600. Did not happen.
Met Office forecast better on this day, although timing of the heavy snow was about 2 hours too early.
So what are others opinions on this ng concerning the reliability of the forecasts from these providers now MeteoGroup have been up and running for a few weeks?
