And all forecasters are then tarred with the same brush as one can see in
the comments' section on this masterpiece of journalism. Here is one such
comment:

"As ever with met office predictions, l shall believe it when l see it.
Would trust Mystic Meg more than that bunch.
And you know what - Mystic Meg is SOMETIMES right!"

I have just replied to the above comments page warning the Daily Mail
off Corbyn and saying in doing that he tarnishes the Met Office's hard
work at forecasting as normally these forecasts are associated with
them. Doubt it'll get published on their website !

Me too. Told them what will really happen and asked if I'm right if I can
have Weather Action's fee!
Also love this "Extremes of temperature affect the chemical performance of
the battery, resulting in a loss of charge.'
Ok, then why didn't you tell everyone in December before the 10 air frosts
that will probably produce lower temperatures than this will!

Well, I can't see any anti-Corbyn activity in the comments - on the
contrary, there is one comment praising him and his long range
forecasts which have, apparently, an 85% success rate ! Mind you,
these Daily Mail comment facilities soon fill up, and although they
will allow you to submit a comment, it often never appears.

But Piers Corbyn, from longrange forecasters Weather-Action, said that
after a brief lull, the bad weather will return with a vengeance from
the middle of next week.

He added: ......

"The average temperature for January as a whole will be close to
freezing, with 0.8C (33.4F) at best, and could fall to minus 12C
(10.4F) in the South."


Blimey that's a low average for the South. Best wrap up warm.

Squelching through the mud, Paul C at , blathered on thus, and
it became the following missive...

Was that irony or sarcasm...? Or neither?

I'm sure he'll be able to defend it with reports of snow from
Cairngorm...

According to the BBC at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7169438.stm
"Snow up to 10cm deep may settle on Scottish hillsides, with drifts of
up to 4cm on lower levels."

Snow drifts up to 4cm ? My god, that's over an inch high, it could
come halfway up the side of your shoe !
