Last night I ranted like a madman about the snow forecast by every
agency, media outlet and UKMO itself. The gist of my rant was that even UKMO were talking nonsense about the amount of snow and the disruption it would cause. Well the track of the snow as it moved North was very accurate and when I awoke this morning to see it snowing I thought oh dear the metto were spot on we are in for pasting. No sooner as that embarrassing thought had flitted across my mind then it stopped. The temp was 2c at around 8am and another UKMO sawn of shot gun weather warning for the universe had bit the slush. I'll admit driving conditions were very well worth a ‘beware’ orange warning, as I got stuck in a sleet drift (puddle). Okay it did snow elsewhere but I still think the hyperbole that UKMO in Cahoots with the BBC is nigh on rubbish. Okay Carol Kirkwood was togged up and that bitter wind chill factor in the blue peter garden but there wasn't a flake to be seen. So I feel no remorse whatsoever. Anyhow on to the latest forecast from the UKMO and I see that the bottom third of Britain is under the orange alert does that mean we are about to be invaded by Ulster men....no it doesn't. It means we need to, as the MettO says "Be Aware". Why what so dangerous about a worn out old front heading east. Anyway clicking on the orange area for the SE you then get greater detail of the impending disaster we need to so aware off. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...ngs.html?day=1 Ah now I see, London and the SE to expect heavy snow from 6pm to 9pm. What a load of exaggeration, there's more spun ******** there than when Rumplestiltskin , got his privates caught in his spinning wheel. Do I really have to pay taxes for this tripe, it’s bad enough that they've turned Exeter into a holy shrine to the Blessed St Al Gore who appeared to Ed Milliband , Gordon Brown and Georg e Monbiot with three world shaking messages from Gai. Now if I contact Exeter would they provide me with a holy Gore relic and absolution from the evils of my carbon dioxide size tens? I will mail them and keep you posted. |
