Default Possibly the most over-hyped weather forecast ever...

....was aired on BBC South East Today just before 7pm today.

Spent ages banging on about how bitterly cold it will be on Sunday and
showed maps with lots of snow symbols. Then said it's been ages since
we've had such a blast of northerly air, desipte having had a few days
of it - and even some snow! - this time last week!

I'm off to stock up on supplies before the mass hysteria sets in.

Those 'media' people live in a different world.

It does seem to be off, though i haven't looked at TWO for ages

Folks on that wonderful BBC weather message board are now talking about
easterly hopes for 10th Feb

Hence i always sound like a stuck record when i keep warning against
getting hopes up at longer ranges.

Of course it's going to change

This may be the hint for Brian to take those polar bears off TWO's
homepage
Always good for a laugh if nothing else

This Andrew Bond fella posts on TWO

Are those two in some sort of business relationship or something?

Just curious why he hasn't got his own forum.

Having one's own forum would allow far too much freedom of expression,
but i reckon if he did one, it would be strictly moderated

It's the way other's reply to him. Roll out the red carpet treatment.
People making an effort to be a bit too polite, come on people, he's
not royalty !!

Many predictions made, simply do not happen

Why doesn't he have a simple straightforward email address for contact?

The feedback section on Metcheque is a joke

You have to choose 'reasons for emailing' in a drop down list window
Let's just say that not all possible reasons for emailing are on that
list

So why can't people put in their own subject headers as reasons for
emailing?

You have to send your message via a feedback form on a webpage

I would direct my questions to Andrew Bond directly but of course there
is no DIRECT way to communicate with him
Even Tony Blair provides a greater choice of contact options

There does seem to be an uncanny knack of the Homepage being inversely
proportional to the currently predicted weather. In the last week it went
from more Anticyclonic gloom to severe winter weather and now back to cold
spell off - so expect some cold weather!
