I heard the BBC news weather forecast around 18:30 this (yesterday)evening
(was in another room) There were dire warnings of heavy snow for London and
the SE of England, why it was even suggested that the Spurs Arsenal game
could be affected. What a load of old tripe! I'm sitting here typing at
12:10 am the sky's over Sydenham SE London have been clear all night.

People criticise the outrageous forecast of Weather Action, well the
BBC'UKMO are an absolute disgrace. My mother said earlier
"Awwl how am I going to get out tomorrow with all this heavy snow that's
been forecast" Don't worry Mum it's the BBC/UKMO talking out of their
Government infested backsides again.

Of course there will be no apology for this ****e forecast. I would rather
they keep their mealy mouthed,fear of pension loss, mouths shut, than
regurgitate this crap year after year. No doubt Patricia Hewitt and her
cronies who now boss UKMO and the BBC around, will claim how fantastic the
NHS has been during the coldest winter since the big bang. It is pathetic
and the BBC/UKMO crew should be thoroughly ashamed for coming out yet again
with patently over hyped Boll&*ks.

I'm fed up being told lies.

Whats worse Kaddy crying out " DUSTING " , then next day telling us " UPTO
15CM " and it fooking RAINS!!!!!

Useless forecasters , RANT RANT

Some parts of the south-east are getting some snow showers now

They did come eventually

I saw Dan Corbett on the News 24 forecasts earlier, being very gleeful
about milder temperatures on the way, we're heading back up to 8's and
9's, back to normal for the time of year

Cold Snap... one night with a slight frost... one night with patchy
rain... no frost tonight, skies are clear (so i don't know what's up)

If we get another cold snap this winter, i sure hope it tries a bit
harder

You must be tired of life then. If you're sick of being told lies, opt
out of life cos we get told lies every second of the day, no matter who
you talk to. Bye-bye Laurence...

But seeing as you know so much about forecasting, I'm sure Will would only
be too delighted for you to help.

Typical British man of a certain age, always complaining. You remind me
of that character from the Goon Show, Willum Mate. He was always
comaplining too!

Local presenter on Look North (from Leeds) asked the weather girl: "How long
is this big freeze going to last?" I just wanted to hear her say back "you
stupid cow". Unforunately it didnt happen.

About 10miles from the coast why?

I'll add that i've not seen sleet in North Devon yet either.
I have however seen hail... but since i've previously seen a covering
of hail before during a summer thunderstorm, that isn't saying much

During a shower last Saturday, there *might* have been one piece of
sleet amongst the hail, i wasn't sure. Temps were still high at the
time, i find it hard to believe it was one isolated wet snowflake. Or
my eyes were playing tricks in the semi-daylight

Winter poo.... bring on the spring-time storms

Thanks for those kind words Rab.

In all seriousness it would seem that simple forecasting is now
choreographed -just witness the weather girls on BBC weather always staging
a severe scene, emphasising it with scarves , gloves, woolly hats and boots.
It would be far more exciting if they presented the forecast with no clothes
on.
Take Carol Driftwood this morning , she must have searched high and bloody
low to find somewhere in Kent to broadcast whilst sparse flakes of sleet
settled on the wet slush that surrounded her. According to her over excited
little colleague the evening before there should have been snow a plenty in
the whole of the SE corner including London. It's typical of everything
nowadays overdressed, overhyped, overpackaged, over the top and worse of all
overfield-Rab that is.

Still say she should have done it nude.

I personally think you're putting your own spin on it, Lawrence.

The forecast I saw said of the Spurs vs Arsenal game might see a flake
or two, they never said it was going to be a whiteout enough to
"affect" the game.

They said most of the snow would be in Essex and Kent, and could get
far as south-east London. I stayed overnight in Orpington (NW Kent, SE
London border) and woke up to a light covering of snow, with some more
moderate snow around 10am in the morning. Heavier snow, so I'm told,
fell in Kent. The warnings of 10cm were in the "as much as" not
"everywhere is going to see".

Maybe, just maybe Lawrence, the blame lies in the interpretation of the
observer of the forecast??

I told my parents that night, who were setting out on the roads the
next morning that we probably wouldn't see much snow, based on what I'd
seen on the BBC forecast.
