Default Paxman tells it how it is

Worth watching Newsnight on iPlayer if you didn't catch it. Paxman put
it rather directly to Rob McElwee that the language that the weather
forecasters are using during this 'snow event' is often completely
absurd.

So why's Paxo picking on this event? Their language is always absurd.

Has he learnt to say "meteorology" yet? HE thinks it should be "metreology"
(at least in University Challenges).
