Tom,

Just wait and see, the elderly need to know potentially what may
happen in the extreme. It may not be hype, how do you know ?
Nobody does, yet.

Ignore the media - they're more inaccurate in their everyday
non-weather reports than the met office are in their weather
forecasts!

According to a friend at work he heard on BBC Radio 2 that temperatures
would be down as low as -20C!

I know there is a need to advise the public, especially the elderly but I
think these warnings are a little too soon. As Joe said previously nobody
knows yet how severe this cold snap will be.

Let's just hope the Met Office don't get it wrong "again".

I guess it could at a few very localised and 'favoured' spots like Altnaharra
or Breamar, but outside of these known frost hollows and in normal open
country, -20C must be fantastically rare in this country.

Don't we just love Rob McElwee, "then there could be snow", his final
words on the forecast. Go on Rob, hype it up.

Joe

Rob always creeps out the woodwork when snow's around.

He was hurrying through the forecast to get the last bit in. Fantastic!

Anglia News Tonight were rather more cautious about the snow fall but
could agree on one thing, that it will be colder... ;-)
