Just been doing the shopping and everyone is talking about the cold and snow
on the way. It's good to see that the Met Office succeed in getting the
message across to the public still.

According to one of the staff at Tesco coal and car supplies have rocketed
in sales today. And of course the over-ramping of temperatures as low
as -18C and blocked roads made me quietly chuckle.

I wonder how the public will react though if the forecast is wrong?

They'll blame the met office for spending so much money on stocking up
on food and fuel.

Lets face it, the MO stand more chance of getting the forecast wrong than
they do of getting it right.
I know my two kids will be deeply disappointed if we don't get the
forecasted snow.

Personally, I think it's a bit daft the Met forecasting snow for 4 or 5 days
in the future. No one expects them to be able to forecast snow that far in
advance so why do they even attempt it with the attending high risk of
egg-on-face?

They'd have far more chance of being right 24 or 48 hours away, and that
easily enough for most people to re-arrange journeys and so on.
