O doubting Thomases!
 

We ended up with 4 inches of level snow and 3 ft drifts. A few miles away
cars were abandoned in the snow drifts.

Some apologies to the Met O are due I think!

Nice one Trevor. I think I mentioned the possibility of blocked roads in the
northeast in my weekly forecast last thursday.

O doubting Thomases!
 

Well I would still doubt the BBC version of events in terms of the big
bright area of severe disruption stretching from Scotland to Kent and
virtually splitting the UK into two halves. You just happened to be in one
of the few localised areas where it happened!

Yes, but if there was a 50% chance of snow in West Yorkshire and
Yorkshire got nothing, that is a perfectly good forecast on the face of
it.

O doubting Thomases!
 

Might as well have not bothered then eh? The Met Office made a big issue of
snow in the East, they got it wrong because they issued a weather warning to
all eastern counties of heavy snow with up to 6" possible. Does 0" count as
a successful outcome to areas 15 miles inland?

Brian did you really think the situation called for the showers to drift so
far inland?

shame on you. The situation, given the wind direction etc, only called for
coastal showers...

p***** off WITH the snow
