They get worse!
Heather Minchen(?) on BBC1 Breakfast described the snow in the south as
"showers" which was bad enough for a supposed meteorologist, but what was happening further north was said to be "heavy snow flurries"! -- Graham Davis, Bracknell It was raining cats and dogs and I fell in a poodle. [Chic Murray(1919-1985)] |

It's also creeping into the written forecasts. The following gem appeared in the Peak District Mountain Weather Forecast the other day "Further snow flurries are likely during the day, perhaps heavy at times" And my pet hate "gusting to gale force" is appearing all too often. -- Norman Lynagh Tideswell, Derbyshire 303m a.s.l. |

Don't know where I got "Heather" from in first post. Definition of "snow flurry" from Wikipedia: "A snow flurry is a brief instance of light snow, with very little or no accumulation of snow on the ground." That sounds like what the NE is getting! -- Graham Davis, Bracknell It was raining cats and dogs and I fell in a poodle. [Chic Murray(1919-1985)] |
