Because UKMO are on the way OTT H&S train that middle class lefty idiotic ride as their way of fighting capitalism and oppression. Of course the train is driven by electric generated solely by wind turbines.

Here in the SE which I class as London, Surrey, Kent and south Essex we have a yellow snow warning, yet when you click on their SE link its devoid of any yellow peril whatsoever

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/w...ime=1455667200


UKMO do this time and time again and have done so for easily over two decades .

I've always maintained that if any future climate historian used the UKMO warning system as a proxy for British weather our future generation would get the impression we were all hanging on by our fingertips in one blast of snow after another. Of course when I've said this people say 'idiot'. but it is an absolute fact that everyone knows about but would not be seen to be agreeing with me . The warning system is a disgraceful farce and gives no true reflect or account of what actually happens

It loads fine and shows five map dated Thursdays 18th until Monday 22nd

The first map the 18th shows yellow everywhere but the SE yet its a warning for the SE, the remainder show no snow warnings at all.


This has happened every winter for years and is seen as a proxy for over fearful weather warnings when in fact the is hardly any reflection of reality.. In all honesty you and others see the warnings all the time and do you think they reflect the actual weather that was experienced

The reason why the SE got its warning was that the yellow area covered a
small part of the region that the MO calls SE England. The part in
question was west of London and north of the M4, and seemed to roughly
correspond to Oxfordshire and maybe a bit of Berkshire too. Personally I
wouldn't call Oxfordshire part of SE England, but it's in the MO region.

Yes, but London and the SE doesn't begin and end in your back yard.

But what do you do when, say, there's a 10% chance of roads becoming treacherous? Ignore altogether? They're on a hiding to nothing (or to 10%).

Lawrence, just go to the foot of the page and you'll see the 'Local
Authorities affected..'
As I recall there was no mention of Greater London for this particular
warning.

Well Freddie if you actually tried reading what I said and not process through your you prejudices............. . Tell you what I'll stop there and as you obviously made an attempt to read my post, what point do you think I was trying to make?
